WBUR offers internship opportunities with the following departments and programs:  Newscast, the Newsroom, Here & Now, On Point, Only A Game, Radio Boston and Development.

The goal of WBUR is to provide interns with a substantive, meaningful work experience such that each intern concludes the internship period with demonstrable skills in his/her area of interest and a knowledge of how public radio ‘works.’

Each position varies in terms of the total weekly commitment, the specific hours worked and the responsibilities involved. All internship positions are unpaid.

Eligibility: a degree or concentration in broadcast journalism is sometimes preferred but not required. Any student selected as an intern who is interested in receiving course credit must present the written consent of his/her adviser prior to beginning the internship. One need not be a matriculated student to apply.

Dates: Internships follow a Fall, Spring and Summer schedule based on these approximate dates:

Fall – September 1 – December 31 (apply after June 1)
Spring – January 1 – May 31 (apply after October 1)
Summer – June 1 – August 31 (apply after January 1)

How to apply: there is no formal application for a WBUR internship. Instead, we ask that you send a resumé and brief cover letter explaining which internship position interests you and what you hope to contribute to the position in question. Materials are reviewed on a rolling basis. Positions are open until filled. Please contact us to request more detailed information about each position:  internships@wbur.bu.edu

Please Note: Fall 2009 internship positions have been filled.
