How to Get a J.P. Morgan Internship from Ohio State

6 min read · Updated September 23, 2026

JPMorgan Chase has one of its largest U.S. offices in Columbus, a short drive north of Ohio State's campus. That puts thousands of employees, many of them Buckeyes, within driving distance. Here's how Ohio State students turn that into a J.P. Morgan internship.

What J.P. Morgan hires interns for

J.P. Morgan's internship programs include:

• Software Engineering Intern
• Investment Banking Summer Analyst
• Markets Summer Analyst
• Asset & Wealth Management Summer Analyst

Pick one before you start. Your networking, resume and interview prep all get sharper when they point at a single program and office.

When to apply

Banks recruit about two years ahead. For a junior-summer Summer Analyst role, some postings go up as early as November of sophomore year and most open around January 1. Many firms review applications as they arrive, so applying in the first weeks matters more than the stated deadline.

Using Ohio State to get in

The Columbus campus is heavy on technology, operations and consumer banking, so software engineering and technology roles are a natural first target. The Fisher College of Business also sends students toward J.P. Morgan's finance programs.

Use Fisher's career services and Ohio State's engineering career services for employer events. J.P. Morgan is a familiar name at Ohio State recruiting events.

Local proximity helps: you can meet Columbus employees in person, and a Columbus-based internship is a real path to a full-time offer.

Networking into J.P. Morgan from Ohio State

Search LinkedIn for “JPMorgan Chase” filtered to The Ohio State University and location Columbus. You'll find far more people than at most schools, so be selective: pick those in the exact team or program you want.

Tailor your resume to the program

Match your resume to the specific J.P. Morgan posting: prove each requirement it lists, use its phrasing where it's true, and keep it to one page. The full process is in how to tailor your resume for each internship.

What J.P. Morgan interviews focus on

• For software engineering: an online coding assessment, then technical interviews on data structures and problem solving.
• For finance programs: a recorded video round, behavioral questions, then accounting and valuation technicals.
• Every track asks why J.P. Morgan. A conversation with someone in Columbus gives you a real answer.
