Although recruiting for these industries can vary by organization, here are a few things that student need to know:

• Employer timelines for recruiting students can vary greatly. While employers post jobs and participate in recruiting activities at Brown, these activities tend to happen throughout the academic year. Individual employers are eager to hire Brown students, but they often don’t hire large cohorts of students at once and they tend to hire many different types of positions on different timelines.
• Brown offers incredible research opportunities with faculty. Each year through the SPRINT|Undergraduate Teaching and Research (UTRA) program, hundreds of undergraduates receive funding to conduct research and participate in course development projects directly with Brown faculty members. UTRAs are available during the fall and spring semesters and during the summer each year.
• Many employers want to provide in-depth training to students. Many science and engineering employers structure experiential learning opportunities as extended semester- or year-long rotational programs. At other schools, these are referred to as co-op programs that usually involve earning academic credit while developing specific professional skills. While Brown doesn’t have a co-op program, the Center for Career Exploration can help you connect with internship and rotational experiences aligned with Brown’s academic calendar and the Open Curriculum.
