Program Overview

Program Description:

The CIEE Global Internship program is designed for students who want a semester-long program incorporating an intensive academic internship that offers the opportunity for professional and specific skills development, intercultural development, and a real-world work experience in a local or multi-national company or organization. Internships vary from site to site and are available in a variety of academic and professional disciplines. Students on this program begin by taking two CIEE elective courses offered on a 6-week academic block system. Electives cover a variety of area studies and language courses. Each area studies course includes 45 contact hours for 3 semester / 4.5 quarter hours. Beginning language courses include 60 contact hours for 3 semester / 4.5 quarter hours. The second part of the program includes an 8-week CIEE full-time internship (200-240 internship hours) with an integrated academic seminar (30 contact hours) for 6 semester/ 9 quarter hours. In addition, students on this program have the option to enroll in one additional CIEE elective course for 3 semester / 4.5 quarter hours: 1) Intercultural Communication and Leadership (ICL) or 2) Doing Business in Europe during their internship to augment their placement.
