Who can apply?
- Urban's program page describes the internship experience but does not publish one undergraduate class-year, major or work-authorization rule across every role.
- The selected career posting controls student status, education, location, schedule, compensation, authorization and application documents.
- Urban's work spans economists, policy experts, sociologists, strategic communicators and data scientists, so applications should be directed to one kind of contribution rather than policy work in general.
A ten-week program overview is not a live Summer 2027 vacancy. Do not infer the current term, pay or accepted class years until Urban publishes a matching role.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
For research or data roles, explain a project through its question, data, method, limitations and audience. Urban names tools such as R, Stata, SAS and ArcGIS in its broader learning environment, but list only tools you have actually used.
For communications or program roles, show how you made evidence understandable or coordinated a deliverable with several stakeholders, then prepare to discuss what feedback changed.
