Internship Survey Data
Based on an annual survey, The Career Center has compiled a profile for each of the University’s major programs – any major not listed below had insufficient data to create a profile. The reports list self-reported summer experiences obtained by Notre Dame students and illustrate that college majors rarely restrict summer internship options.
