UTeach Internships

UTeach Columbus offers paid internships at Columbus State University to a limited number of students each fall and spring semester.

Internships may involve working at CSU outreach or student centers such as Coca Cola Space Science Center, Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center, Columbus Regional Mathematics Collaborative, or Math and Science Learning Center. Students will work an average of 10 – 15 hours a week, a maximum of 150 hours per semester, at $10/hour. All UTeach students with a cumulative CSU GPA of 2.5 or higher are eligible to apply for an internship.
