International Internships and Research

International internships and research allow students to pursue professional experiences on a global level while receiving academic credit and using financial aid and scholarships to support time abroad. Internships are available:

  • In all CAS disciplines. 
  • In all types of professional organizations including research labs, industry, small businesses, NGOs, government agencies, non-profits and education.
  • In many world languages including English.
  • At all times of year.
  • For undergraduate and graduate students.

Most internships are 3-6 months in duration. Internship providers often help interns find housing, get oriented to their work place and environment, and develop critical work skills. Many also provide stipends or other support to help cover costs. While you must register for a minimum of one credit, you can earn more.  To find your international internship or research opportunity, start here: https://ie3global.org/internship-search/
