DAN Management Internship Program

The DAN Management Internship Program is a cooperative education opportunity for undergraduate DAN Department of Management & Organizational Studies students. The program facilitates paid and career-related placements for qualified students who will work full-time for 8 to 16 months, following the third year of study. As with a traditional co-op degree, graduation is delayed by one year while the student acquires marketable skills and work experience.

Internship placement opportunities may be available in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors. 

If you have secured an internship opportunity for Summer or Fall 2025, you may be eligible for the internship credit. See Arranging Your Own Internship for more detail.

Advance registration for the 2025-26 internship program is now open! 

This means that you can express your interest in participating in the internship program to secure paid work experience for 2026-27, while earning academic credit. See Application Process for instructions.
