Student Internships

Most of Mount Holyoke's physics majors participate in at least one internship during their time as an undergraduate; view past student student internship statistics. Some continue on to graduate school in physics, while many others choose to study in another technical field or begin a career in industry. Below is a growing list of sites both on and off campus which provide job and internship information.

• American Institute of Physics (AIP) Job Page
• DAAD RISE Professional - Internships with German companies
• "Finding Science Internships" by Sistahs in Science and Dr. Sheila Browne
