For Undergraduate Students

Funded Internships

The Cohen Institute offers at least two funded internship opportunities to undergraduate students every academic year. These internships are meant to provide professional experience while also supporting the Institute’s mission and work. Internships are typically established the spring prior to the academic year when they will take place. Internships have included a variety of roles such as: Education Intern, Videography and Media Intern, and Archives Intern.

Please note that all internships for 2025-2026 are currently filled.

Student Scholars

The Cohen Institute Student Scholar program, which is launching as a pilot during the 2025-2026 academic year, offers undergraduate students a funded opportunity to collaborate with Keene State College faculty members in developing, promoting, and implementing research projects that are aligned with the Institute’s mission. The student scholar role may involve assisting a Cohen Institute Faculty Scholar with various tasks necessary to see the research project through to completion.

Applicants should possess the academic and practical skills required to support the faculty scholar effectively. This program allows Keene State College students to work alongside college faculty and acquire advanced skills, practices, and professional research experience that may not be available in traditional classroom settings. Students who successfully fill this role will also receive recognition in any resulting publications or other works as a member of the research team.

Questions? KSC undergraduate students who are interested in learning more about this program are encouraged to reach out to the Program Design Consultant.
