Internships and service learning
<p><a id="internships-service"></a></p>
<p>Yes, you can do internships abroad! Interning or volunteering abroad is a great way to get involved, gain professional experience, and add an international flair to your resume. These unique opportunities are included as part of many types of education abroad programs.</p>
<p>For example, a faculty-led program may involve a volunteer project at a local school, or a semester study abroad program may offer students the opportunity to participate in credit-bearing internship placement alongside their other coursework. Additionally, some programs – generally during the summer – offer stand-alone internship or service learning placements. These opportunities are generally unpaid, but they may offer credit.</p>
