Dear UT Undergraduates:

With registration for next semester coming up in a few weeks, let me tell

you about an exciting internship course.

Are you thinking about whether graduate school is in your future? Are

you uncertain about what it would be like to be a graduate student and what

academic program may be suited best to your interests and career goals?

If your answer to these questions is yes, you may wish to consider

undertaking the Intellectual Entrepreneurship (IE) “Pre-Graduate School

Internship.” This internship is open to students in all UT

colleges/schools and departments. You may earn one, two or three hours

of academic credit (CMS 164M/264M/364M) by participating in the internship.

You may read more about this program (including FAQ’s, examples

of internship activities and an easy to complete internship contract) on

A wonderful UT web feature about this program is at:

If after examining these materials you have questions, please feel free

NOTE: Because of the generosity of several UT deans, undergraduates who

do their pre-grad internship in programs in the following colleges will be

eligible to receive travel grants to help cover part of the cost of

attending an academic conference (with their grad mentor)– Law, Public

Affairs, Communication, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Pharmacy, Business,

Social Work, Education, Natural Sciences, Fine Arts.

Sincerely,

Rick Cherwitz

Professor and IE Director
