About

IEN offers academic year internships (12-20 hours per week) for Student Research Assistants and limited summer opportunities available through federal work-study, or academic credit through independent study. An IEN summer internship satisfies the MUEP internship requirement. Non-work study positions are available on a project-by-project basis. Preference for internship positions is given to graduate students in the School of Architecture’s Department of Urban and Environmental Planning, and students whose primary internship role will be at IEN.
