International Internships

Registration

Students must turn in a completed, signed International Internship/Career Exploration Form along with their completed, signed Semester and Summer Internship Registration Form (internships) or Interim Career Exploration Registration Form (career explorations) in order to register to earn academic credit for an internship or career exploration at any site located outside of the United States.

**International students completing an internship in their home country should follow the steps to register for a domestic internship.** 

Students who register to earn credit for an internship or career exploration at any site located outside of the United States must also complete an application through the off-campus study application system at the Center for International and Cultural Education.
