Location US-GA-Athens Job Category Intern Position Type MagNet Intern Req ID 42247 Overview As a State Farm intern, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with experienced professionals, contribute to meaningful projects, and make a real impact. Our internship program provides students with valuable training, mentorship, and networking opportunities while being fully immersed in the day-to-day operations of a Fortune 50 company. At State Farm, we believe our interns are the future of our company, and we are committed to helping you succeed! The Modeling and Analytics Graduate Network (MAGNet) program is a unique multi-semester internship opportunity designed to prepare graduate students for a full-time data science position at State Farm. Throughout their time in the program, MAGNet interns apply their predictive modeling and analytical skills to a variety of data science problems to augment their theoretical coursework while also developing professionally. It is not feasible to expose interns to the full variety of topics they need to be familiar with for full-time data science work in a single semester. As such, the MAGNet internship is designed to last the duration of an intern's graduate studies with renewal on a semester-by-semester basis. This means that while this position is hiring for the Spring 2026 semester, the intern may be invited to return for following semester(s), based on the intern's growth and progress relative to the internship's expectations. To continue in the MAGNet program, it is expected that an intern will continue to renew their internship throughout their graduate program for the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters as applicable. If you are looking for a summer or other short-term internship, MAGNet is not the right fit for you, but you may be interested in State Farm's summer internship programs. Graduate students at the University of Georgia in highly quantitative disciplines are considered, with an emphasis on understanding of statistical techniques.
