Are internships, cooperative education, and study abroad available?
Absolutely. Internships, cooperative education programs, and study abroad programs are all available at Washington University. Putting principles and theories to work adds a whole new dimension to your undergraduate education. Washington University values this kind of learning, and that’s why we offer a substantial range of internships and cooperative education programs at companies and nonprofit organizations throughout the world. Students can participate in meaningful experiences related to their academic programs that bring classroom learning to life, offering a “reality-check” for career intentions. We encourage each undergraduate student to participate in at least one internship or co-op experience. Students can combine internships or co-op jobs with study abroad in international internships. Washington University has nearly 100 study abroad programs in more than 50 countries and six of the seven continents. There are summer, semester, and yearlong programs available.
