Special Notice for COVID-19

While it is extremely difficult to predict what the status of the pandemic will be, we will run some version of our program. What that program will look like will, of course, vary depending on the situation nationally.  Our aim is to operate the program normally and in person if at all possible. However, if that is not possible we have a outlined a spectrum of possibilities from in person out to a 100% virtual model.  The exact plan won’t be determined until sometime closer to your internship start date and we will do our best to keep applicants updated.

  1. Complete the online application. 
  2. Download an unofficial version of your transcript from your institution (.pdf or .doc only are accepted our admin).
