Students must complete an internship in the summer between the first and second year of study. Students will be matched to an appropriate internship related to one of the program's five pillars (Global Security, Human Rights and Global Justice, Global Markets, Global Development, Innovation Policy). The internship allows students to apply their knowledge to significant global problems from the vantage point of one of the program's five focus areas, and provides an opportunity to develop and enhance skills, and build networks, in areas of professional interest. A report on the internship will be required and will be graded pass/fail. A faculty member, in consultation with relevant teaching faculty in the program, will grade the report. Internships may be paid or unpaid.
