Internship Eligibility
Most placements involve students in their junior or senior years, or in graduate-level programs, though we sometimes do consider freshman or sophomores with particularly strong backgrounds who have exhibited a strong interest in Northrop Grumman programs or technologies.

Assignments
The department or functional group to which the intern is assigned develops an internship plan, taking into account the intern's academic background, interests and other needs. In many cases, the intern will work with an experienced/senior employee, who will provide guidance and assistance on a specific project or task. In other cases, interns work independently on a specific problem or effort with staff oversight and assistance.

Interns receive feedback on an ongoing basis, and usually receive a formal evaluation at the end of their internship. The majority of Northrop Grumman internship opportunities occur during the summer months (May through August). Part-time internships and co-ops during the school year typically occur as an extension of a summer assignment or as a special program with a specific university. Any special programs of this nature would be coordinated and publicized through the university career center at that particular school.
