Internship Program Partnership
Internship Partnership Program Overview
The New York State Center of Excellence (CoE) in Data Science at the University of Rochester offers a Data Science Internship Program. We recognize that for some organizations data science is a valuable tool for identifying business opportunities, supporting decision making, and developing business strategies, while for others it is an integrated component of the products they develop or services they offer. With that broad perspective, this program aims to support small businesses and startups in New York in reaching their business objectives by facilitating their access to student talent in data science. The Center funds two-month summer internship projects for small businesses/organizations that are selected from proposals submitted by companies interested in partnering with us.
Internship Partner Proposal – We are still considering additional partnerships for Summer 2023
Undergraduate and Graduate Students can learn more about internships by visiting the student internship opportunity site.
