Internships

The internship component of our Masters degree provides an important part of the scope and depth of the educational experience. We also encourage our students to design it in a way that will provide a bridge to their post-graduate work opportunities.

Our program is regularly forming relationships with potential internship placement agencies. And our students, based on their interests, are also finding new opportunities for internship experience. Internship placements can be local or international. We keep a list of the internship placements of our students to-date that is a resource for new students either as a source for their own internship or to stimulate thinking about other possibilities.

Additional avenues for ideas and opportunities can be found at:
