Licensing Candidates:
Ideal candidates are graduate students in science and engineering fields. No prior business experience or training is required, but it can be a plus. Candidates should be prepared to commit 10-12 hours per week to the program for each term (Fall, Spring, and Summer) in which they serve. During summer months, interns are encouraged, but not required, to spend up to 20 hours per week in the program. Most work is conducted at USC Stevens offices in downtown Los Angeles.
New Ventures Candidates:
Ideal candidates are either:
- MBA candidates with a bachelor’s degree in an engineering or science field; or
- Engineering or science graduate students with startup or other industry experience
Interns with a special interest/aptitude in Biomedical Engineering and medical device commercialization are particularly desirable for New Ventures assignments.
New Ventures interns should be prepared to commit 20 hours per week to the program for the bulk of each term in which they serve. These time commitments are most intense from the beginning through the first three quarters of the Fall and Spring terms, when USC Stevens’ translational programs are in full swing. |
