Structure

The selected candidate will begin the internship program with an intensive term of full-time study. This initial 4-month term will provide a solid scientific understanding of supply chain management. During this initial period the student will meet with the GHRG periodically to be kept abreast of current projects but will have limited responsibilities in addition to full time study. Upon successful completion of this first term, the intern will begin work with the GHRG on a part-time basis. In addition to working with the GHRG the intern will begin working on his/her thesis and take a modified course load, satisfying all requirements for the Masters Degree by May of the following year. The timeline below provides an example of how the intern's time will be divided between activities.
