Internship Summary

Since 2001, the University of Notre Dame Athletics Department has offered an extensive internship program utilizing interns in various aspects of Athletics Administration. Athletics Department Interns are classified as full-time employees and are considered valuable members of the Athletics Department staff. Athletics Department Interns are provided the opportunity to learn a great deal about their specific area of interest while also gaining valuable hands-on experience in the successful overall operation of an NCAA Division I Athletics Program. We also strive to provide our interns with every possible opportunity to grow via endless professional development opportunities. Notre Dame has attracted interns from all over the country and from some of the top sport management programs (graduate and undergraduate) in the nation. Many former interns have secured employment upon completion of their internship or left to pursue graduate degrees from various prestigious universities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer For-Credit internship opportunities?

Yes, if your degree requires or allows you to seek out internships for credit in the world of collegiate athletics, we encourage you to contact members of your department of interest. These opportunities are strictly for academic credit and the experience must be contributing to the degree you are pursuing (undergraduate or graduate). These are not paid positions. Applicants are responsible for finding and paying for their own housing (we can provide some suggestions) and other needs for the full duration of their internship.
