Internships and programs at Bank of America
The early-career programs it runs for students and recent graduates, by the names it uses for them.
- Global Investment Banking Summer Analyst Program
- A ten-week internship, June to August, placing summer analysts on an industry, country, or product coverage team for associate-style work: financial models, valuation and merger analysis, industry research, and client materials. U.S. offices include Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Palo Alto, and San Francisco, with separate postings for London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and others.
- Global Investment Banking Sophomore Summer Analyst Program
- A ten-week summer internship for sophomores that has run in recent cycles, giving second-year students real banking work a year before the junior-summer program. It has listed a minimum 3.5 GPA.
- Global Markets Sales & Trading Rotational Sophomore Summer Analyst Program
- The markets counterpart for sophomores, rotating through sales and trading desks. Like the banking version, it leads toward a junior-year summer analyst role.
- Global Technology Summer Analyst Program
- The technology internship, posted with tracks such as business analyst. Other non-front-office programs, including Finance Management and Strategy & Management, post alongside it.
When Bank of America posts internships
Front-office programs open far ahead. Last cycle, investment banking and markets summer analyst postings for summer 2027 opened in the winter of the prior academic year, about eighteen months before the start date, with rolling review. Several had already come down by the following fall.
Technology, finance, and strategy programs have posted later in the cycle. Bank of America's process page says U.S. and Canada application periods vary through the year, are reviewed on a rolling basis, and can differ by school.
These are patterns from recent cycles, not published dates, and they shift. The reliable signal is the posting itself: Trakker is an internship tracker that reads Bank of America’s careers site directly and can email you within minutes of a new role appearing.
Who can apply
The 2027 Global Investment Banking posting asked for a bachelor's or bachelor's-to-master's student graduating between November 2027 and August 2028, with a preferred minimum GPA of 3.5. Sophomore programs target students one year earlier.
In the U.S. and Canada you may apply to one office and one division per year. Choose before you apply.
The interview process
Most programs start with an online application that includes competency questions, plus an on-demand video interview. The video format gives you 30 seconds to prepare each answer and up to three minutes to respond, and the bank asks you to use at least a minute and 45 seconds.
First and second rounds, where they exist, happen by phone, on-demand video, on campus, or at an office. The final round varies by line of business and centers on interviews with people from the business you applied to; for banking and markets, candidates describe a technical component such as a valuation or markets question.
Tips for applying to Bank of America
- Use most of the three minutes on each video answer. Bank of America explicitly says short answers undersell you.
- Sophomores interested in banking or trading should look for the Sophomore Summer Analyst postings. They are ten-week internships, not one-day events.
- One office, one division per year. Pick the program you would defend in a final round and skip the backups.
