Students
EaC Summer Internships provide entrepreneurial students with opportunities to gain essential experience in small to mid-sized businesses located throughout the US and abroad.
During the internship, each Cornell student brings the latest in entrepreneurial thinking from their classroom and applies it to their internship. The internships are designed as hands-on experiences that will expose the intern to small business operations and will help to prepare the student as a next generation business leader, innovator, and entrepreneur.
Students from any of the schools and colleges are eligible to apply for these paid internships.

Our CAT defines “biotechnology companies” as those that investigate, modify, and/or produce living microorganisms or organisms, living systems, or living ecosystems in fields including human medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture, and biology.
