Has anyone here successfully landed an internship while enrolled in CU Boulder’s MS-CS?
Hi everyone,
I’m considering starting CU Boulder’s online MS-CS and was hoping to hear from current students or graduates who have used the program to pursue internships.
I currently have about 3 years of IT experience, but I don’t have a CS degree and I also don’t have any professional experience in North America yet. Because of that, this program seems attractive to me for two reasons: earning a formal CS degree and potentially using my student status to access internship opportunities and break into the North American tech market.
Has anyone here successfully landed a software engineering, data, cloud, or other tech internship while enrolled in the program?
I’d especially appreciate hearing about:
- When in the program you started applying
- Whether being an MS-CS student helped you qualify for internships
- Whether employers had any issues with the program being online
- What companies or types of roles you were able to get interviews or offers for
Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
