What is a summer internship?

A summer internship is an internship that lasts during what are typically considered the summer months. These are most often offered to students in undergraduate or graduate programs so that students can gain experience and knowledge on an internship without sacrificing any semesters.

Summer internships allow students to engage in research or other scholarly activities under the guidance and direction of experienced researchers or workers. They also help students to network and make connections in their field. For many fields, summer internships can be crucial for gaining skills and making connections.
