Internships

Fallingwater offers summer internship opportunities for college and graduate students interested in careers related to the site’s many departments.

Each year, interns complete hands-on projects relevant to their area of specialization while working closely with supervisors, colleagues and volunteers in their host department. Fallingwater strongly encourages applications from students who are members of groups underrepresented in careers related to its mission.
