International Internships & Volunteer Experiences

INTERNATIONAL INTERNSHIPS
International internship programs can give UW-L students relevant experience in today's increasingly global society. An international internship allows students to increase their cultural competencies and gain a better understanding of other cultures; both in how they work and in how they live. Internships are available around the world in various settings including government, business, or the non-profit sector. Students may combine an international internship with a study abroad program. Credits earned from an international internship may be applied towards specific program requirements of an internship experience, independent study or research.
