What exactly is an international internship? Is any summer job in a foreign country considered an internship?
For the purposes of our program, an internship is a six to eight week period of work abroad that provides a serious learning experience in an academic or professional field. Ideally, it should relate to your academic field of interest and take place in a country where you can improve your language skills. Service industry work, such as being a bartender, waiter, nanny, shop clerk, or ticket collector, does not qualify as an internship.
