International Internships & Service
International internships and service learning opportunities equip students with skills necessary to compete in today's globalized marketplace. In addition to gaining valuable professional experience, students who intern abroad also develop an in-depth understanding of another culture, create a global network of contacts, strengthen their resume, and often gain proficiency in a foreign language. To find out more information about interning abroad, schedule an appointment to meet with one of the School of Business International Program Advisors.
