Timeline and Important Dates
Students interview with employers approximately one quarter prior to when they will intern and participate in their CFS class. Resumes are sent and interviews are conducted over a 4 to 6 week period. We encourage you to act quickly once you have received the resumes because the process is competitive. We will do our best to accommodate individual employer application processes.

*Internship Dates align with the beginning and end of Northwestern classes and will vary slightly year to year (see NU planning calendars for reference.) Employers with internships dates different than those listed above should negotiate start and end dates with the student prior to the start of the internship, but should still roughly align with Northwestern's quarterly class schedule.
