This summer, immerse yourself in a professional environment while living on a vibrant college campus. Participants will dive into a meaningful internship, working five days a week to develop essential career-ready skills.

Independence is a core part of the experience. You will manage your own daily commute and prepare your own lunches for the workday. While you’ll have access to the college dining hall, your evenings and weekends are free to explore Boston’s unique culture and energy at your own pace.
