Undergraduate Students

Yawkey Unpaid Internship Program: The Yawkey Foundation’s gift to Boston University is the first permanent fund supporting student internships and focuses on unpaid internships at nonprofit organizations. In addition to providing a living allowance stipend, the Yawkey Program is designed to enhance recipients’ learning experiences through program components such as developing a learning agreement and, upon the internship’s conclusion, writing a reflective essay.

CAS Internship Program: The CAS Internship Program offers undergraduates in the College the opportunity to take CAS IN 299 alongside an approved internship. CAS IN 299 is a two-credit, seminar-style course that carries the Teamwork/Collaboration BU Hub unit. Taught by Connector staff, the course complements the experiential learning you’ll be doing in your internships, by encouraging critical self-reflection and the development of career readiness competencies.

CAS Summer Internship Support Program: Selected CAS undergraduate students will be provided with an air-conditioned room in a Boston University residence hall during the 12-week Summer Term. Housing expenses and a 10-meal-per-week dining plan will be covered by the program.* Program participants will be expected to attend regular in-person meetings with their internship cohort; complete a series of short assignments, including a pre- and post-internship reflection; and produce a team-based project about the intern experience that will be shared with the CAS community.

Newbury Center Summer Fund: The Newbury Center Summer Fund is a selective program designed for first-generation undergraduate students. It provides a living allowance stipend to support participation in experiential learning opportunities during the summer. It is funded through a generous donation to the Newbury Center. In addition to providing a living allowance stipend, the program provides an educational framework which strengthens the experience through a series of program components that help students to plan for, engage in, and reflect upon their summer experiences.

CAS Experiential Learning (EL) Connector:  The CAS Experiential Learning (EL) Connector is a resource to find and access the possibilities available to you at BU. Arts & Sciences students have access to countless types of experiential learning —from day-long service-learning projects to semesters abroad to full-year research programs or internships. Explore courses and other opportunities thru their website, or book a 1:1 consultation to explore how to engage in experiential learning. The EL Connector also maintains an internships database, so you can see were prior students have gotten experiences. 

Undergraduate and Graduate Students

Enlight Social Impact Incubator & Summer Internships:  BU students from all degree programs and academic levels are invited to apply for a $10,000 stipend to accept an unpaid summer internship at a Boston nonprofit or social benefit organization where you’ll work for three days per week, then build your own social venture or movement with Innovate@BU two days per week.

BU Spark! Job Opportunities: BU Spark! offers a limited number of paid opportunities each semester so you can work while you earn your degree. Opportunities are offered on a semester-long basis and may be extended for the full academic year. Positions are posted as needed, and applications for open positions are reviewed on a rolling basis.

BU CS LinkedIn Group brings together alumni and current faculty and staff. Check out the page for opportunities and updates on the CS Community.

BU Connects is a database of BU Alumni who have volunteered to speak with BU students and other Alumni about their careers and offer mentoring. BU Connects should be used for career exploration, mentoring, informational interviewing, or networking only, and not for conducting internship or job searches
