International Internships

Work. Learn. Travel.

Internships abroad are a great way to experience another culture while at the same time building your résumé. Working abroad also enhances leadership and intercultural awareness skills.

Visit the Center for Global Education (CGE) to learn how you can combine an internship with your study abroad experience, or simply do a stand-alone internship abroad. Whether for the summer or an entire academic year, CGE can help you find a placement that will give you global workforce skills and academic credit.
