  • Junior standing (at time of internship)
  • Foreign language proficiency (see program details)*
  • Relevant academic experience
  • Enrollment in a USAC study abroad program
  • Fully vaccinated for COVID-19

*Local language proficiency is not required for all placements. Requirements vary by program, so please review the requirements for the program you are interested in.

Fees

Students participating in a summer Specialty program internship as an optional component of a regular study abroad program, will pay the Summer Session I and II program fee plus a $985 nonrefundable internship placement fee.* This fee helps offset the costs of securing quality internship and research placements and supports a range of professional development activities.

*Thematic summer internship and research programs do not carry supplemental placement fee since the internship or research placement is an integral, required component of these programs.
