Spring 2027 Internships: Open Roles and What Each Employer Means by Spring

Spring 2027 internships are open now, and the word spring covers very different calendars. When we checked the Spring 2027 page on November 12, 2026, it listed 773 open roles from 344 companies, and 287 of them had been added that week. Intern Insider pages refresh about once a day, so treat those figures as a snapshot. This guide shows what spring means at eight employers, in their own words, so you can match a role to your semester before you apply.

Canadian students looking at January to April terms should start with our winter 2027 internships guide, which covers Canadian co-op terms. This post is about the United States, where most employers call those months spring.

What spring 2027 internships look like#

A spring internship usually starts in January or February. After that, the postings split. Some end in April, some in May, and some run through June as a six-month co-op. Some are full-time and assume you are taking a semester off. Others cap your hours so you can stay in class.

The term label on a job board is a weak guide to any of this. In our own data on November 12, 2026, about 440 of the roughly 700 listings tagged Spring 2027 also carried a winter, summer, or fall tag, often because one listing covers several start dates. That is why every role below quotes the employer's own dates and hours, not a label.

Eight open spring 2027 roles#

These postings were read on each employer's career site on November 12, 2026.

Short spring terms#

• U-Haul Data Analyst Spring Internship (Phoenix, Arizona). U-Haul says "The Spring Internship program will run from February 1st through April 30th." The role "will be fully on-site in Phoenix, Arizona" and pays $17 per hour. The posting says it "is not eligible for employer sponsorship."

• DwyerOmega Manufacturing Engineering Intern (San Marcos, California). The posting lists "Session: Spring 2027" and "Duration: January-April 2027 (Full-Time)." It is on-site, lists $22-$30/hr, and says the position "is not eligible for VISA sponsorship."

Semester-length co-ops#

• WB Games Software Engineering Co-op (Needham, Massachusetts). The posting says "The duration of the Spring 2027 co-op program is 5 months from January to May dependent on the student's availability based on the semester schedule." Co-ops work 35-40 hours per week in the office, need a 3.0 GPA or above, and are paid "$31 per hour USD for undergrad interns." The posting asks for candidates who "will not require work visa sponsorship."

• Entegris NPI Engineering Co-Op (Colorado Springs, Colorado). Entegris says "This assignment is intended to be 6 months in duration" and asks you to be "Available to work 40 hours a week, M-F (8a-5p) beginning in January through June." It names graduation years 2026, 2027, or 2028 and a "$20-$30/hour range." It does not sponsor H-1B visas for co-ops.

Spring roles that fit around classes#

• Volvo Group Intern: Manufacturing Engineering (Dublin, Virginia). Volvo says "Spring interns may work up to 30 hours per week." Applicants need an Industrial Engineering major, 30 completed semester hours, and a minimum GPA of 2.75. Volvo sets one range of $17.00 - $46.00 for all intern and co-op positions.

• CACI Software Engineering Co-op (King of Prussia, Pennsylvania). This one is narrow. It is open to "students currently enrolled at Drexel University," the Time Type is part time, and Minimum Clearance Required to Start is None. It asks for authorization to work in the United States "without the need for employer sponsorship." The pay range is shown without a pay period, so we do not quote it.

• Moog Intern Engineering, Product Engineering (Blacksburg, Virginia). Moog's Space and Defense Group "is seeking a spring 2027 block intern" with "an onsite work schedule in Blacksburg, VA." It asks for an Electrical Engineering degree program, a GPA of at least 3.0, and access to "U.S. export-controlled information." Pay is listed as $23.42-$28.92 Hourly. The posting does not give start and end dates.

When spring does not mean January#

• Ryan Companies VDC Intern (Chicago, Illinois). This virtual design and construction role is "available as a summer internship running from May to August or a spring co-op running from May to December." Ryan says "eight months is the ideal length of time for this type of role" and pays $20-$25/hour. If you search for spring roles to fill January, this one will not fit, even though it carries the label.

How to plan a spring 2027 internship#

Spring roles need more planning than summer ones, because they overlap your academic year.

• Talk to your school first. A full-time January to May co-op usually means a semester off campus. Ask how it affects your credits, financial aid, and graduation date.

• Match the hours to your plan. If you are staying in class, look for postings like Volvo Group's that cap hours, or roles that are part time.

• Read the dates, not the label. U-Haul's program is three months. Entegris asks for six. Ryan Companies uses spring for a term that starts in May.

• Check work authorization. Five of the eight postings above say they will not sponsor a visa or require authorization without sponsorship.

• Apply soon. A January start leaves little time between an offer and your first day, and 287 Spring 2027 roles were added to Intern Insider in one week before November 12, 2026.

If a spring term does not fit, our summer 2027 internships guide covers the much larger summer market.
