Administrative Intern Program

Administrative Internship Program

Program Outcomes

Through their internships and coursework, the Administrative Interns become familiar with the various factors that influence University of California and UCI policy development. Interns also acquire a greater awareness of management styles, trends, and issues in higher education and industry. Interns can expect to experience the following:

• Through contact with key campus managers and departments, interns gain a clearer understanding of how decisions are made in a complex bureaucracy.

• Through course readings, assignments, team projects, and site visits, interns achieve a better understanding of workplace dynamics and trends.

• Interns acquire a better understanding of their own personal values, professional interests, and career goals.

Students find the Administrative Intern Program both a valuable experience and an asset in applying to graduate school or seeking employment. In recent years, interns have pursued graduate study in such fields as business administration, higher education administration, international relations, law, medicine, museum management, and public policy. Interns have continued their studies at institutions such as Columbia University, Stanford University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and the University of Maryland. Former interns hold professional positions as attorneys, business entrepreneurs, doctors, educational administrators, health care administrators, and management consultants.
