Attention employers

  • If you have an entry-level job opening or internship well suited for our students, please email the information, including a web address or pdf of the job advertisement, to our Career Services Coordinator.

  • Employers can hire our international master’s students for internships without providing visa sponsorship. Through Curricular Practical Training (CPT), students are authorized to work as part of their academic program and require only an offer letter before beginning employment.

    Many of our planning graduates also qualify for up to three years of post-graduation employment authorization through STEM Optional Practical Training (OPT), allowing employers additional time before sponsorship may be needed.

  • If one of our students is currently interning with you, please evaluate their work using this form: Internship - Employer's Report on Planning and Public Affairs Intern. We thank you for your feedback.
