International Internship Program

Clemson's International Internship Program provides an opportunity to gain valuable work experience in your target field while experiencing another culture. Being immersed in a work setting abroad provides a different level of international experience than you get from a traditional study abroad program. Internships are full-time for 8 weeks. A professional development course accompanies the internship. All course components are completed online and will help you leverage your internship experience back in the US when you are conducting your first job search.

International Internship Course (INT 3010) Overview

The accompanying course for the international internship program is INT 3010. This course focuses on developing skills that students can leverage in their job search once they return to the US. Sample job application materials and mock interview exercises -introduced and critiqued by faculty – will be used to support student learning. The majority of coursework is completed online.

This 3-credit hour, graded course counts as a Global Challenges general education requirement.
