In partnership with Education Abroad, we have launched the Global Internships program to provide students with a vetted portfolio of top international internships from all over the world.
These programs were selected because of their commitment to student health and safety while abroad and their experiential learning outcomes that prepare students for global careers. There are a variety of models of internships available, including cohort internship experiences, summer customized internships, semester study + intern programs, and virtual global internships.
These programs offer credit at Miami for your internship experience. In some cases, additional credit may be available for career seminars associated with your internship program. Talk with your academic advisor and department internship coordinator as you plan to incorporate a global internship into your academic journey.
