Summer Internships

An international internship offers students the chance to immerse themselves fully in the host country, where they are working full-time and contibuting to the daily operations of the host organization. Working in a different cultural context challenges students to communicate across difference and develop a global perspective in their chosen academic or professional field.

Students interested in interning abroad are encouraged to explore the MHC International Internship Program (for sophomores and juniors) or to find their own international internship. (Please see Developing Your Own International Internship for resources.) Students can apply for funding for unpaid summer internships through the Universal Application Form.

As an intern I was part of an incredibly diverse and international community. I gained important professional experience, expanded my global network, and gained a better understanding of other countries’ political, economic, social and educational systems.This was my first extended experience outside the U.S., and developing a new perspective of my home country has been one of the greatest gifts of my internship.
