Internships

Summer is the perfect time to move beyond the classroom and discover the advantages of an internship. Internships give students relevant work experience, the chance to develop professional skills and the opportunity to make contacts in a chosen career field. All this, and University of Idaho credit, too! Cooperative Education can help students find academically relevant work experience. The Cooperative Education staff works with academic departments and potential employers to connect students with an appropriate work experience. Co-op Ed staff will critique resumes and help students focus their internship search on career-oriented opportunities. Using MonsterTRACK's extensive database of available jobs and internships, students can locate national internship positions, as well as internships available through companies that regularly recruit University of Idaho students.

Students should discuss their summer internship plans with their respective department and register for internship credit.

About Summer

Summer at the University of Idaho

The University of Idaho, the state's land grant and principal research institution, serves the region and nation as well as international clientele, by providing programs in engineering, art and architecture, mining and metallurgy, forestry and recreation education, agriculture and consumer sciences, business education and economics, and the liberal arts. It maintains resident instruction centers in Coeur d'Alene, Boise and Idaho Falls, extension centers in 42 of Idaho's 44 counties, and seven research and extension centers throughout the state. An active International Programs Office helps extend and promote the University around the globe.

Located in Moscow, a community of 20,000, the University boasts a friendly student atmosphere and a feeling of camaraderie that is engendered by a low student/professor ratio and a service-oriented staff. Moscow is the gateway to a natural wonderland. It is surrounded by the Palouse hills and the mountains and lakes of Northern Idaho, providing an idyllic summer setting. This is the Idaho of National Geographic fame. Skiing, boating, white-water rafting, hiking and camping are popular pastimes. The Sawtooth Mountains and Hells Canyon recreation areas, and the Frank Church River of No Return are within easy driving distance.

In the summer, Moscow is host to a variety of entertainment opportunities. The Fresh Air Concert Series offers a different program every Thursday evening in the East City Park. The Farmers' Market (where over 75 area vendors – featuring fresh produce, homemade baked goods, bedding plants, flowers and crafts – sell their wares) is open every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to noon. Students and residents of the Moscow community can enjoy summer evenings by attending an Idaho Repertory Theatre (IRT) production. The IRT offers some of the best entertainment in the region, as people gather on the University of Idaho campus to experience live theatre.

Come, learn and celebrate summer at the University of Idaho.
