Internship Programs

CMC encourages students to participate in internships during the summer or academic year, provided their academic commitments allow for this time-consuming activity. For most summer and semester internships CMC students may apply to receive academic course credit, upon the completion of the specific academic requirements for their selected internship.

Special CMC-sponsored internships, though competitive, are an ideal way to gain experience. CMC’s Sponsored Internships & Experiences (SIE) has grown over the past few years. Student funding is budgetary-based. Sponsored internship programs include:

• Kravis Opportunity Fund (KOF). This fund supports summer internship for first-year students who are on financial aid.
• The Uoroboros Fellowship. Designed to support student internships or projects abroad that offer life-challenging experiences.
• The Appel Fellowship. Restricted to first-year students, this program supports purposeful, independent experiences that culminate in a meaningful writing project.
• The Gould Center Creative Works Fellowship. Provides CMC students in the humanities the opportunity to engage in meaningful, self-directed summer projects that culminate in a creative project.
• The Political Education Fellowship. For students to work for a political campaign.
• Several research institutes, such as the Kravis Leadership Institute, the Mgrublian Center for Human Rights, and the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies also offer funding for summer internships.

Further information on these programs is available from the Career Services Center or on the SIE website.

Students who participate in any internship do so with the understanding that CMC cannot make any representation regarding any acts and/or omissions regarding students’ personal safety or property while at, or traveling to, the intern site, since such matters are beyond the direct control of the College. International students must meet with the director of international student services before registering for any internship, to insure compliance with student visa regulations.
