Overview

FIE offers a number of academic internships, either as stand-alone programs or in conjunction with study abroad programs. Students may choose between a 15-week Fall or Spring semester, or shorter 10-week Summer internship programs. Throughout the internship experience, FIE maintains close contact with the student, offering lots of support, including a pre-program orientation, social and cultural activities, and group discussions. Most internships can be awarded academic credit, if approved by an advisor before departure. The student and home institution must discuss the requirements for successful completion.
