Internships Abroad

The International Programs Office advises students on education abroad opportunities, including international internships and internships in Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories. Prior to any international travel, students are required to seek approval by the International Programs Office for credit and non-credit bearing international internships. Students participating in international internships should have a minimum of 2.5 GPA and be in good conduct standing for university approval. GPA requirements for specific internship courses are often higher than 2.5 and therefore will supersede the International Programs Office minimum requirements. Participants are required to register with the Office of International Programs by applying and, completing pre-departure instruction.

An international internship can complement a study abroad experience during the academic year as students are required to maintain full time student status while abroad during a spring/fall semester.

Students applying to participate in an independent internship must abide by UT application deadlines and policies set forth by the Office of International Programs and the Office of Career Services  and  submit  unreviewed internship placements  in  advance  of  the  posted deadlines  for  approval.

 Students  should  contact  the International  Programs  Office  prior  to Feb. 15  for  international  internships  taking  place  the  following  summer  and  fall, and Oct. 1 for international internships taking place the following spring.
