Finding Summer Opportunities
Students spend their summers in various ways leading up to their applications and eventual start in professional school. You will need to decide which path is best for you out of the many options you have.
- Summer study abroad
- Summer classes
- Internships or co-ops
- Summer jobs (on or off campus)
- Volunteer work
- Shadowing
- Summer research
- Or even some combination of these
You do need to plan ahead for your opportunities. Many internships and research opportunities can fill up during the fall semester for the following summer. Others have applications due in February. If your professional school application is due in the same summer as you will be traveling out of the country, you may need to do some advance planning for the costs and for communication needs. We are happy to help you think ahead about these things.
We will keep adding to this section as we learn of opportunities. Also watch our Pre-Professional Advising monthly e-news (sign up here), campus bulletin boards, e-boards, and departmental newsletters for additional opportunities.
