Career Services has a physical list of various opportunities that are available.
You can also explore the following possibilities on-line:
These links will take you to the program descriptions of
various summer job and internship opportunities, several of which we
have had recent mathematics majors successfully pursue.
All of these programs provide a stipend (around $2500)
and most provide housing and transportation allowances as well.

Center for Industrial and Mathematics and Statistics Summer
Research Program
This eight week program at Worchester Polytechnic Institute in
Massachusetts
offers outstanding undergraduate students
the opportunity to work on mathematical and statistical problems in
close collaboration with faculty and industrial sponsors.
The program is designed to provide a glimpse of the ways that
advanced mathematics is used in the real world to solve complex problems.
The students will work on problems which begin with a
real-life problem generated by our industrial sponsors.
Some Job Postings
- Humana
Humana is interested in talking with any student at Centre College
who might be interested in the actuarial field, or who knows very little
about it, but would like some more information. The last two years,
Centre math majors who were rising seniors participated in Humana's
summer internship program. This program is a great chance for a student
to "test the waters" and see if this type of work environment suits them.
If there is enough interest, we'd be happy to come down for an
information session in the Winter or Spring term.
For more information contact: Wes Royce ('96 Centre math major) at
wroyse@humana.com .
