Short answer: Most structured Spring 2027 programs opened in late summer 2026 and closed in September. NASA's spring deadline was September 14, 2026. Companies that hire on a rolling basis are still posting spring roles: on November 9, 2026, 61 roles in Useno's public list had "Spring 2027" in the title.

Two kinds of spring internship

A spring internship runs during the spring term, roughly January to May. Because it starts so soon after fall, employers with a formal program pick their spring interns in the fall. Everyone else posts a role when they need someone, which can be weeks before the start date.

Who still hires for spring

  • Co-ops. Many co-op terms start in January. Schools with co-op programs keep their own calendars, so check yours.
  • Accounting firms. January to April is tax season, and firms hire spring tax interns for it. Some already post for spring 2028.
  • Smaller companies, startups and nonprofits. They tend to post close to the start date.
  • Part-time and remote roles that fit around classes.
