College Summer Internships

APL offers science and engineering internships each summer. The program provides practical work experience and an introduction to APL. Students spend the summer working with APL scientists and engineers, conducting research, developing leadership skills, and growing professionally. We will be accepting applications for the 2009 summer intern season beginning on 9/1/2008. Applications must be received by March 31.

One Hundred Forty-Five  interns worked at APL this summer – a record number. The students ranged from freshmen to PhD level, from 62 colleges and universities. They worked on projects across the Lab in every technical department. And they had the opportunity to network throughout the summer at receptions, social events, seminars, and workshops. read more

The students toured APL facilities and heard  senior staff members talk about projects they’re working on. Brown-bag lunch events are scheduled on topics such as:

  • APL Training & Development Resources
  • Careers at APL
