Cooperative Summer Internship Program for M.R.P. and M.A. Students
AAP Career Development helps you secure a summer internship with local, regional, national, and international organizations for first-year graduate students in the M.R.P. and M.A. programs.
The college offers stipends ($1875) to students between the first and second year of the M.R.P. and M.A. programs who secure professional internships (full or part-time) that have a connection to the field of planning. Students may also receive this stipend if they engage in summer research work with faculty related to planning.
AAP Career Services invites a wide variety of organizations to participate in the program each year, but students are also encouraged to seek out specific organizations of interest. Students may contact organizations themselves, or collaborate with AAP Career Services in contacting the internship hosts.
A list of prospective employers and required materials for application is available in February from AAP Career Services. Students will apply for positions directly with employers using the information provided by employers.. Selected students should be notified by late April.
Below is a list of organizations that have hosted interns in previous years, and other groups that may be of interest.
