Who can apply?

  • Applicants must be pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree and expect to graduate between December 2027 and June 2028. The graduation window—not a guessed college year—is the controlling academic rule.
  • The posting asks for basic finance knowledge, strong communication, work ethic and leadership. Valuation knowledge, analytical ability, Excel skill and cooperation across levels are preferred qualifications.
  • Houlihan Lokey says this Baltimore position is not available to candidates who now or later need employment-visa sponsorship. Candidates must also complete the Suited assessment sent after the application is submitted.
Easy to miss

The Workday submission is not the last required action: the posting says candidates must complete the separate Suited assessment sent after applying, and the role does not support present or future employment-visa sponsorship.

Dates, pay & program timing

Published cutoff · · no time given

Houlihan Lokey describes its U.S. summer program as ten weeks from June through August, beginning with one week of training. The Baltimore posting closes November 30, 2026, with no published closing time, and states a $110,000–$110,000 possible salary range. Treat that as the posting's salary field, not a promise of $110,000 for ten weeks.

How to apply to Houlihan Lokey

  1. Confirm the December 2027–June 2028 graduation window, Baltimore location and no-current-or-future-sponsorship rule before preparing the role-specific application.
  2. Tailor the resume to the Business Services group's work: financial-statement analysis, valuation, company and industry research, M&A, capital raising, refinancing or leveraged-buyout exposure from coursework, jobs or projects.
  3. Apply through the official Workday posting before November 30, 2026, then complete the Suited assessment sent by email. The employer publishes no closing time, so do not assume the form remains available through your local midnight.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

The posting names M&A, private debt and equity placements, refinancings and leveraged buyouts. Build a one-page company analysis with revenue drivers, margins, cash flow, comparable companies and one transaction rationale, and be ready to explain which assumptions matter most.

Business Services spans professional and technology-related companies. Choose one subsector and learn its recurring-revenue, labor, customer-concentration or capital-intensity economics so your industry discussion is more specific than a generic interest in investment banking.

The official page says interns can receive substantial responsibility and senior interaction. Prepare a concise example of taking ownership of an ambiguous task, checking the work and escalating a question early rather than hiding uncertainty.
