Internship with seminar

Required for all year-long participants.

During the months of January and February, year-long program participants engage in a full-time credit-bearing internship. Every attempt is made to match the internship assignment to the individual's interests, and requests for specific types of internships can generally be accommodated.

The internship period complements the class work of the regular courses taken during the program and is designed to be a challenging personal and intellectual experience. During the internship, students remain under the supervision of the program and continue to reside with the Spanish families. They participate in a weekly seminar and carry out required reading and writing assignments. The final grade for the internship is based on work submitted for the seminar, the evaluation of the internship supervisor of the host organization, and the program director's evaluation of the student's work in the seminar and at the sponsoring organization.
