Summer Internship Programs
Internships students will begin their program with the British Life and Cultures class. Studying in another culture can be challenging for even the best students, so the British Life and Cultures course will help them contextualize their experience in London in a broad, academic manner. Students will begin their internship about a week into their program, splitting each week evenly between classwork and placement time. Credit ranges from 6 - 9 semester hours.
