Economics students intern at for profit and nonprofit agencies in data analytics, finance, banking, research, forecasting, and risk management. Interns earn academic credit towards degree completion, gain exposure to real-world problems, and increase their marketability to employers.
Students are not placed in internships, but develop and practice job seeking skills by applying and interviewing for internship positions. Internships must be approved in advance.
