Internships

Internships are often essential for success and highly beneficial. They will test your resourcefulness, language skills, and cultural competence, but upon successful completion, you will have an edge over others in today's competitive job market. Consult your language coordinator or the Academic Advisor (Stephen Luft) to find out how to fit an internship opportunity into your academic career. Internships can earn academic credits under certain circumstances. Information about how academic internships are managed at Pitt, visit this page. Also Student Affairs can guide you to internship opportunities.
