Internships Program for MBA Students

MBA Internship Program

What is the MBA Internship Program?

The MBA Internship Program is our newest effort to attract students with a desire to work in the Federal government. Through the MBA Internship Program, students will gain experience in such areas as strategic and human capital planning, quantitative and qualitative management, and fiscal planning.

Students have an opportunity to engage in meaningful work experiences. The purpose of the internship is to have students assigned to tasks that enable them to transfer their classroom activities to actual work experience. The MBA Internship Program serves as a recruitment source for potential employment opportunities in the Department.


What are the agency benefits for participating in the MBA Internship Program?

Internships are a great way to bring in talented business school students who can contribute to the organization's work with new ideas and energy. Internships provide managers with an effective, low-risk evaluation and training ground for prospective full-time employees.


How do students benefit from internships?

* Earn salary to offset educational expenses
* Opportunity to earn academic credit
* Participate in meaningful work assignments relative to their academic area
* Opportunities to apply business school concepts to work assignments
* Exposure to public service careers
* Develop a network of professional contacts for future opportunities.


Types of Internships

There are three different types of internships:

Academic credit - Students coordinate the requirements of the internship with the school. Assignments are selected based on the academic requirements of the student. Final determination is made in consultation between the student, academic advisors and the Department of Labor. This type of internship is non-paid and occurs during the school year.

Details of the internship are outlined in an agreement, which is signed by the student, academic institution and the Department of Labor. Assignments are commensurate with the student's academic schedule. The length of the assignment is included in the signed agreement.

Voluntary - Student volunteers are involved in professional projects and work activities related to their academic studies. The assignments and/or tasks are clearly outlined in a signed agreement. Students can work based on their availability throughout the school year.

Paid - Students selected for paid internships are assigned to specific projects with definitive outcomes. Projects are structured to provide full-time meaningful work experience. Paid internships are assigned during the summer and may run from May to late August. MBA Interns assigned during the summer may also be extended to work throughout the school year based on their availability.

Students in paid internships earn between $1,100 to $1,364 bi-weekly. Students may work full or part-time schedules. There are no limitations on the number of hours an intern can work per week, but the student's work schedule should not interfere with their academic schedule.
