College interns work in a variety of departments throughout COSI.  Each college intern position description is based around a project to be completed per term.  Areas may include:

  • Marketing and Development
  • Guest Services
  • Exhibits
  • Human Resources
  • Information Systems
  • Teen Programs
 

Time Commitment

College internships range from 8-15 weeks and may be repeated.  School credits may determine the number of hours per week (usually 10-16 hours arranged over 2 to 4 days).  Hours are flexible and depend on assignment.  Positions are unpaid but offer benefits, in addition to school credit.
