MIT Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program
Lincoln Laboratory participates in MIT’s Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP). This full-year program for MIT sophomores is an introduction to the workplace skills that complement students' academic training. An important facet of the program is a 10- to 12-week summer internship in industry, government, or a nonprofit institution. As a UPOP partner, the Laboratory offers a limited number of such internships.
