The program combines a fall academic seminar on global leadership and policy related to a specific theme, supported by additional coursework, and a spring semester internship placement with international organizations, federal agencies, foreign embassies, and non-governmental organizations in the Washington, DC area.
Gain international experience without leaving the country. The program consists of four primary components:
- Take a fall academic seminar on global leadership and policy taught by expert practitioners in the field.
- Intern for credit in the spring at an embassy, international organization, federal agency, or multinational corporation.
- Increase your learning experience through University of Maryland supplementary courses.
- Attend workshops, roundtable discussions, and off-campus lectures to learn more about real-world applications.
This internship program is a collaborative academic initiative between the Office of Undergraduate Studies and the Office of International Affairs and is open to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors from all majors.
