Internships

Internships are a very important part of an Emory Economics education.

We encourage students to take advantage of the opportunities available at Emory's Career Center to find an internship that suits their interests and career path.

Emory College students can reserve a time to meet with a Career Counselor by:

• Self-Scheduling via EagleOps
• Phone at: (404) 727-6211
• Email at: CareerCenter@emory.edu

73% of Economics alumni have had at least 2 internships
