FAQ
These student internships are all paid positions funded by generous donors through the Ramapo College Foundation.
Students apply advanced concepts directly from their BS and MS courses in Computer Science, Data Science, and Mathematics. Common tasks include:
- Building full-stack software applications and unified infrastructure platforms.
- Integrating third-party platforms via custom APIs.
- Designing databases, user account management systems, and automated data notifications.
- Writing reusable, modular code blocks shared across multiple distinct non-profit clients.
While primarily targeted at Ramapo College data science, computer science, mathematics, and cybersecurity majors, the center also seeks out interdisciplinary skillsets. For instance, social impact internships such as a community data intake role may explicitly prefer students with Digital Humanities backgrounds who have a talent for managing community engagement and tribal records archiving.
