How will an internship be helpful in relation to my career development?
• The practical work experience gained through a full or part-time internship with an American or international employer may prove invaluable and can lead to wider career opportunities upon graduation. • International students will develop a better understanding of the American workplace and the skills needed to perform effectively with an international employer. • A successful internship may result in an invaluable mentoring relationship(s) with a professional in a position to assist with future job contacts and employer references. • For specific information on USCIS regulations regarding unpaid or volunteer work, please contact the SAIS International Student Scholar Services (ISSS) office. • For more background about Internship Resources, visit the “Internship Information” page. The Summer Internship Fund (SIF) is an option for any first-year M.A. student on any campus.
