The Charles Hamilton Houston Internship Program (“Houston Program”) is designed to provide Amherst College students with substantive, meaningful summer internship opportunities in various industries across the U.S. and abroad.  Internships within the Houston Program portfolio either are paid by the employer or are unpaid, but eligible for stipends from the College’s endowed internship funds.

In addition to providing students with vetted, quality internships, the Houston Program offers students 360° support throughout the entire internship cycle, including preparatory advising, professional skill development, and assistance throughout their summer experiences. Through this process, students develop valuable and transferable skills, expand their networks, and gain exposure and insight to further their career exploration and planning.
