The internship course is designed to guide students’ professional development as they navigate quickly changing career patterns. Participation will equip students with the practical skills needed to thrive in a globalized world of work — as well as the theoretical background and critical thinking abilities necessary to reflect on their position in that interconnected system.
Class activities will focus on applied skill building and reflective discussions with other students taking part in an international internship. Students will have the opportunity to network with a variety of global professionals with established careers, design an intervention meant to improve their chosen workplace or sector, and receive individualized feedback about their professional performance.
- This course is required of all students participating in an internship and must be taken for a letter grade.
