You will work with a member of staff to identify your interests, skills, and career goals so that we can determine three to four organizations that would fit your needs. From that list, you will ultimately decide which organization excites you through interviews and conversations with folks at each organization.

Some internships are paid. You can plan to discuss this as part of your placement process with a member of our team.

We work with students in all majors. No matter your interests, we will help you find the perfect internship to fit your interests and begin your professional career.

All of our students live together in a three-flat apartment building in Hyde Park. To learn more about the neighborhood and your accommodations, check out our City Living page.

We strongly discourage students from bringing their cars. All of our students learn how to use public transportation through an extensive workshop during the first week of the program. Additionally, parking in the city can be difficult and sometimes expensive.

All of our students are required to live in our student housing facility as it is an important part of the program. We’ve worked with Chicago natives in the past who reflect that they were happy they decided to live with other students in the program. If you feel your situation is unique, please submit your petition to live off-site as part of your application. Requests will be considered on a case by case basis.
