Undergraduate Internships

The Baker Institute’s Internship Program is open to degree-seeking students at Rice University.

Degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate students may submit an application to be considered for a paid internship at the Baker Institute.

Applications submitted before February 15 in the Spring — and September 15 in the Fall — receive priority. However, the Institute accepts applications on a rolling basis throughout the Fall and Spring semesters.
