Internship Program

• Experience must be relevant and major related
• Length of experience must be minimum of 14 weeks in Fall/Spring, minimum of 8 weeks in the summer
• Student must be supervised by an experienced professional staff member

Students are encouraged to register each internship with the Georgia Tech Career Center once they receive their offer. Registration of internships occurs during the same time frame as registration for academic courses, therefore students have to meet the registration deadlines. International students are required to register their experiences with the career center.

Upon registration students are enrolled in an INTN tuition-free non-credit bearing course based on the number of work hours per week, as follows:

Undergraduate Students

10-19 hours per week = 3-hour audit course
20-29 hours per week = 6-hour audit course
30-35 hours per week = 9-hour audit course
36 and up hours per week = 12-hour audit course

Graduate students

6 – 9 hours per week = 3-hour audit course
10 – 15 hours per week = 4 -hour audit course
16 – 20 hours per week = 6 -hour audit course
21 – 31 hours per week = 9-hour audit course
32 – 40 hours per week = 12-hour audit course

If you are hiring a graduate student as a part-time intern who works as a Graduate Research Assistant or Graduate Teaching Assistant at Georgia Tech simultaneously, an employer needs to sign an additional form. This form acknowledges that you are aware and are supportive of the student’s commitment to conducting a part-time internship and part-time GRA/GTA position during the dates indicated.

Student are encouraged to register their internship with the Georgia Tech Career Center once they receive an offer. Please offer ample time for students to make their decision on accepting an offer. Please review our recruiting and offer guidelines when extending an offer to our students.
