Economics Internships
Experience That Sets You Apart
Providing real-world, hands-on experience, internships serve as an invaluable transition from academia to your career. These critical, beyond-the-classroom learning experiences leverage student expertise and meet the demands of the host organization. Internships for Economics majors, minors, and Finance minors have been a process of alerting students to opportunities and allowing them to apply independent of the department. In the future, we are hoping to build relationships with companies, organizations, and local government in order to streamline internship pathways for our students.

[ASAP Connections] does amazing work with farmers and food providers to increase access to sustainable agriculture and support farmers in the many ways they may need. I was super interested in the SECU Public Fellows Internship program because it has allowed me to do meaningful work and complete an internship while maintaining financial stability.
