Internships

With our close proximity to State Farm Corporate Headquarters (Bloomington, Ill.) the State Farm Research Center offers you much more than an internship.

Our campus location not only offers convenience – it allows activities to extend seamlessly across academic terms, if desired, offering a much broader experience than a one-time assignment:

• The academic year program involves a commitment of 10 hours a week during the fall or spring semesters. It is flexible and adaptable, based on your schedule and goals.
• The summer program is a full-time immersion designed to make powerful connections between you, leading State Farm researchers, and real-world business issues. It isn’t limited to Actuarial, Systems, and Strategic Resources. Additional opportunities provide an inside glimpse into many other areas – from Claims to Communications, Actuarial, Finance, Marketing, and more. The summer program also provides access to Corporate resources designed to help you build mentoring networks and strengthen presentation skills.

There is no better opportunity to showcase your talent and sharpen your competitive edge than with an industry leader like State Farm.
