Undergraduate Summer Internships & Research

Each year, from April to September, the CPDC surveys Ä¢¹½Av undergraduates across all academic disciplines about their summer experiences.

Students who reported internship or research experiences are included in the dashboards below if they provided information about any of the following: employers/institutions, roles/titles, pay, location, application/offer timing, and/or useful resources. This information is compiled and updated annually to help both CMU students and staff explore precedents across five years of voluntarily shared data.

Respondents represent only a fraction of the undergraduate student body. The actual number of students engaged in internship and research experiences is anticipated to surpass the reported figures, underscoring the broader impact and significance of experiential learning within the academic programs.
