Internships
The Syracuse Madrid Internship Program offers students an enriching international experience that fosters the development of intercultural communication skills. Through immersive participation in workplace activities related to their field of study, students acquire practical knowledge while enhancing their academic formation. This experiential learning approach offers a valuable complement to traditional instruction and supports career exploration in a global context.
The Madrid Internship program works with several companies, organizations, foundations, NGOs, etc. in a variety of fields such as business, communication, public relations, education, administration, sports, web design, and more. Internships are always for credit (1 to 3) and each credit is 45 hours on site. In addition to complete the internship students will be required to enroll in the BPS 400 The Global Workplace course.
