In order to get the official rankings for 2017, The Vault surveyed more than 8,500 current and former interns from more than 100 employers over the summer. In order to determine which internships were the most sought after, respondents were asked to rate and review their own internship experiences while at the same time rate the prestige of other top employers. The score for each employer was then averaged and ranked from one to 50.

On the edge about whether or not an internship is for you? Well, 98 percent of respondents’ internships were paid, and more than half (56 percent to be exact) of internships turned into full-time gigs. To take a look at the full rankings and specific internships for each industry, check out The Vault internship website.
