Internships

As participants in CySER, undergraduate students are expected to complete a cyber-related internship and required to do so for any of the WSU cybersecurity certificates. The preferred internship that all students are strongly encouraged to apply for is the MAVEN internship program with VICEROY. However, due to the limited spots available in that program, we provide the following information on alternative internship opportunities to provide a starting point for CySER students who do not enter the MAVEN program.

VICEROY

Internships at VICEROY such as MAVEN are not currently accepting applications. Keep an eye on the VICEROY Scholars website.
