UMass Amherst runs a paid 16-week internship where computer science undergraduates build AI tools to improve real university operations — from teaching and advising to administrative tasks. Each team works with a faculty or staff mentor on a real campus problem and delivers a working tool by the end of the program.
Details
The program is managed by the Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in partnership with the Public Interest Technology Initiative (PIT@UMass). It accepts rising juniors and seniors from the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences. AI4UMass is modeled on the AI for the Commonwealth (AI4CW) program, in which UMass students built AI tools for Massachusetts state agencies — a round of which was presented to Governor Maura Healey in 2025. Both programs aim to translate academic AI research into practical tools that serve real institutional or public needs.
