Internships Abroad
U.S. Students Can Get Valuable Work Experience Abroad

Many majors require internship experience before graduation. Even students who aren't bound by their curriculum can benefit from practical work experience in the field before nabbing that first important job out of college. What better way to learn about the world, gain real experience, and wow your future employers than by doing an internship overseas?
Internships are often unpaid, and seemingly difficult overseas immigration issues can be cause for working for free. It's often easier to earn credit than cash, although sometimes you can luck out and do both. In either case, it is important you talk with your study abroad advisor and department chair or academic advisor if you are looking to complete a degree requirement with your international internship.
It is also helpful to talk with the NDSU Career Center when writing a resume that will be scrutinized overseas. More often than not, resumes or curricula vitae (C.V.'s as they are often called) are not written or reviewed as they are here in the United States, and that is something to take into consideration when you are dreaming about a job with the Crocodile Hunter at the Australian Zoo or Mitsubishi's marketing team in Tokyo.
Some internship programs offer summer experience, and others allow year-round jobs. However, combining an internship with study abroad courses is another attractive option.
Some of NDSU's exchange partners and affiliate providers offer internships either on their own or alongside courses to be studied. You might just be able to strike a balance among the worlds of work, study and play! Please ask your Study Abroad Advisor for more information.
