Do all Patterson School students pursue internships?
The overwhelming majority of our students work as interns at some point during their studies, both to explore potential career prospects and to enhance their professional credentials. Faculty, staff, and your colleagues (beginning with the first day of new student orientation) provide assistance with the internship process. Patterson School students land high-quality assignments. Recent examples include positions with American embassies in Russia, Peru, Jordan, Singapore, Australia, Belgium; the U.S. Departments of State and Commerce; CIA; GAO; Congress; the Canadian Parliament; the Ghanan and Serbian Embassies in Washington and the German Embassy in Japan; the Inter-American Development Bank; the African Development Bank; the International Rescue Committee, Middle East Institute, and the United Nations.
