Program provides, through the Duke Endowment, a small number of opportunities (usually about a dozen) for United Methodist students to serve supervised internships during the summer immediately prior to enrollment. Students serving in these placements do not receive Field Education credit but in addition to the invaluable contextual learning that they gain, they are compensated financially through Duke Endowment.
