The OCS library includes a many resources that will assist you in your summer search. Our internship publications list opportunities at many organizations.

General directories are in Section A of the OCS reception area, including the Internship Bible, Peterson's Guide to Internships and the Vault Guide to Internships. Industry-specific internship directories are found in the the relevant section of the library (e.g., Internships with America's Advertising Agencies can be found in Section C "Media").

All of the counselors at the Office of Career Services are available to talk with students about planning for summer opportunities. If you know your specific area of interest (e.g., volunteer opportunity or internship) please tell the receptionist at OCS when making an appointment. We make every effort to match you with the counselor who can best answer your questions. To make an appointment with a counselor, call (617) 495-2595 or stop by OCS.
