Internship Overview and Application
The IAFS program offers an internship class during the spring and summer that grants credit for international work with a variety of organizations here and abroad. To be enrolled in the IAFS internship class, complete our application and deliver it to the IAFS office, CLUB A5, addressed to Vicki Hunter. The deadline for applications is the end of the semester before the internship semester: for the spring internship, the last day of fall classes and for the summer internship, the last day of spring classes.
If you think you may want to take the IAFS internship class, be sure to attend the pre-registration period information meetings announced on the website and via advisor email. Even if you do not have an internship yet, attend an internship information meeting with the internship director, Vicki Hunter. The meeting is important for understanding the requirements of the class.
