International Internships
Completing an internship abroad is an exciting way to learn first hand about global futures
Students generally complete international internships in one of the following ways:
Students that are citizens of countries outside of the U.S., or have dual citizenship, or otherwise have authorization to live and work in another country may complete an internship in that country. Students need to find their own internship opportunity and provide supporting documentation to the CGF Career Development Specialist in English.
