Through the Global Studies Practicum course, students will have the opportunity to participate in practical professional training through an internship or work within an approved organization. Designed to provide students with experience of professional-level duties in an approved organization, in the form of internship, work, or volunteer service, this opportunity allows students to integrate the theory and knowledge of course content with the application of principles and practices in a work environment.
Internships will be selected and approved in consultation with the program advisor. The program works with established organizations that do work allied with the program’s core areas of study. In addition, we tap the large alumni network of Illinois graduates.
Internships/practicums are 1 to 8 graduate hours. May be repeated in separate terms up to a maximum 8 graduate hours. Prerequisite: GLBL 500 or consent of instructor.
Internships will be selected and approved in consultation with your program advisor.
