3 credits The internship experience is intended to provide International Studies majors with practical experience in an international setting allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge they have gained. Faculty directors must approve in advance the internship site and a written description of the duties and responsibilities the students will perform. The students' workplace supervisors must sign descriptions. The faculty director will also confer periodically with the workplace supervisors about the students' performance and progress. The experience of the internship should provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the mission and functioning of the organization or agency at which the internship takes place. It should also furnish ongoing opportunities for student interns to become involved with issues of international significance, as well as to interact with individuals, preferably from different countries, engaged in varied aspects of international affairs.

Senior projects typically involve investigating the history and causes of a significant international issue, analyzing the successful resolution of an important international situation, or investigating the role played by an international organization in addressing a concern of importance. The Senior Project may also build upon the experience of the Internship in International Studies, depending on student interest and faculty approval.
