I have been able to see many different areas of environmental science — from lab work to fieldwork — and learn about different directions to take my future career.
Research Opportunities
From your first year at Miami, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty on groundbreaking projects across disciplines, from developing sustainable solutions and advancing medical research to exploring the intersections of technology and society. Our commitment to undergraduate research means you won’t just learn from textbooks — you’ll contribute to discoveries that matter.
With dedicated research centers, state-of-the-art labs, and funding opportunities like Miami’s Undergraduate Summer Scholars program, you’ll turn curiosity into impact. You could present at national conferences, co-author publications, or even secure grants to support your work.
Whether you’re passionate about the sciences, humanities, business, or the arts, Miami provides the mentorship, resources, and real-world experiences to help you thrive. Research here doesn’t just prepare you for the future — it helps you shape it.
Internship Opportunities
Internships are an essential part of how Miami prepares you for success. Whether you’re interested in working with Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, or cutting-edge startups, our strong industry connections help you land internships that build real-world skills and expand your professional network.
With career-focused resources like Miami’s Center for Career Exploration and Success, internship funding opportunities, and a global network of alumni, you’ll have the support to secure meaningful, high-impact experiences. Gain leadership skills, test-drive your career path, and make valuable connections that set you apart in the job market. Many of our students turn their internships into full-time job offers before graduation.
For two summers I worked at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management in the suburbs of Chicago, where I first tried my hand at picking and recommending stocks for clients. I also interned at Nuveen Investments after my junior year. These experiences set me up for a full-time job at Goldman Sachs.
