Summer Internship Program
Provides promising undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to gain practical, on-the-job experience working side-by-side with intelligence, technology, human resources and other professionals in their field of study while providing support to DIA’s mission. While at DIA, interns gain insight into a career in the Intelligence Community, what it takes to support the warfighter, and how to become a permanent employee at DIA. Interns work for a 10-week period from June through August as full-time, temporary employees. All interns must be granted a security clearance and successfully pass a drug screening test prior to receiving a final offer. The majority of summer intern positions will be in the Washington, D.C., area, although the Student Internship Branch does work with combatant commands to identify interns to support their missions.
To be eligible for a SIP assignment, candidates must be:
• Currently enrolled in a full–time baccalaureate or graduate degree program which is primarily focused on skills that are critical to DIA, such as foreign area studies, legal, computer science, business administration, human resources, public administration, international relations, political science, chemistry, physics, biology, microbiology, pharmacology, toxicology, engineering, data science, math, statistics or intelligence analysis-related courses.
• Have completed a minimum of 30 semester hours or its equivalent, and possess a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or its equivalent at the time of application.
• A U.S. citizen.
All DIA employees are subject to initial and periodic counterintelligence-scope polygraph tests and drug tests.
