Professional Experience

Scholars cap their undergraduate experiences with an internship in the Professional Experience summer. Scholars may seek professional work experience in any field or industry. With the full resources of the Morehead-Cain community (including staff, alumni, and partners) behind them, scholars have limitless opportunities at their fingertips.

In 2021–2022, 76 scholars spent their Professional Experience summers in 27 U.S. cities and eight countries around the world. Learn more about their experiences below.
