Internships

Bush School students have a wide variety of opportunities for internships in all sectors both here and abroad (see the examples below). Students have found that the internship experience contributes greatly to their professional development and helps them refine their career goals. Through our faculty advisors, visits to the school by recruiters from various agencies, a valuable network of former students throughout Federal and State government agencies, NGOs, and various think tanks, and the able assistance of our director of career services, the Bush School makes it easy for students to obtain an internship that will broaden their opportunities and horizons. While every effort is made to help students in the process, they must actively engage in the internship process to secure the internship best suited to their career goals.
