The International Affairs internship is a unique opportunity for students to integrate and apply classroom knowledge to a real-life work experience outside the university. Develop cross-cultural understanding of your region of concentration, apply IA concepts and ideas learned in the classroom, and acquire work experience for future employment and graduate education.
You must contact the internship coordinator, Dr. Miner and fill out the internship forms below to ensure you will be registered for the 9 credit hour course. He will assist in finding potential internships within the United States and abroad. Please see him during office hours or email if you have questions and for assistance through the registration process.
The Department of Political Science & International Affairs handles registration if the internship takes place inside the US. The Center for Global Engagement handles registration if the internship takes place abroad.
All students seeking an internship must fill out the agreement form.
Internship can be domestic or international in its location; the requirements are 320 hours of work, of which 60 percent of the student’s contact hours are with people from their region of concentration.
Students are encouraged to seek internship ideas from any of their academic advisors, including the Center for Global Engagement and Career Services.
Assignments are due by the last class day of the semester.
