All interns must either already have a Master's degree or be enrolled in a Master's program before starting the internship. Interns will need a Master's to graduate from our internship.

OPTIONS for those without a Master's:
Enroll in a Master's program before you apply or just after match day. (We have a close relationship with the University of Alabama, Cedar Crest and John Patrick University; they all offer fully-remote degrees)
