INTERNSHIP: College Sport Research Institute

The College Sport Research Institute (CSRI) Internship Program allows students/individuals from any academic discipline the ability to gain practical research, development or event-management experience. Consistent with the mission and goals of CSRI and the Scholarly Conference on College Sport, we welcome both undergraduate and graduate students who have an interest in college sport, college-sport research, event-management, development, or education to apply for the internship program. Internships can be structured for course credit.

Commitment and Compensation

CSRI internships are flexible, in regard to time commitments. Presently, research and event-management internships are unpaid. As a result we recognize interns in these positions may need to secure additional part-time employment. Therefore, the minimum time commitment for research and event-management interns is 20 hours/week. Since development internships are paid - based on a percent (20%) of developed memberships, donations, or sponsorships - the minimum time expectation for these internships is 30 hours per week. However, if interns require a specified number of hours to satisfy course credit requirements, CSRI can accommodate such a need.

  • Research Internships (Three - [3] Internships)

  • Development Internships (Two [2] Internships) Paid

  • Event-Operations Internships (Two [2] Internships)

How to Apply

Internship applicants must submit an application packet that includes:

  • Resume specifying academic standing and GPA

  • Letter of interest detailing: Previous experience, Education & Rationale for applying

  • Three letters of recommendation (one from a previous professor)
