Course Code: GE 298
Instruction Language: English
Students will engage in a work experience with organizations in a wide variety of fields. The experience is designed to be relevant to the student’s academic pursuits, personal development, and professional preparation. The internship is a substantive career development experience and provides students with the opportunity to gain experience in workplace settings and to translate classroom learning into practice. The intent is for the student to be exposed to business ideas and concepts while being mentored. Doing analysis, contributing to decisions, and communicating meaningful ideas should form the bulk of the work, although some low skill work (for example, data entry and making phone calls) can be a part of the assignment. At the end of the internship experience, students will be able to reflect on their personal and professional growth and begin seeing themselves on their career path.
I would absolutely recommend this program. The trip has been such a positive experience. Wonderful program!
AIFS has a lot to offer. The more I talked to American students from other programs, the more I realized that AIFS was clearly the best choice
This program opened my eyes to a culture and society I knew very little about. I made great friends and had a fabulous time during the process. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
If you would like to earn academic credit for your internship and your university does not offer academic credit for your internship, it’s possible that you can receive transfer credit through our School of Record, Fairfield University.
AIFS Abroad interns have the option to receive up to 12 credits during a full summer or semester program, which is done through credit-bearing internships and online coursework. AIFS Abroad is able to share detailed syllabi (including a weekly planner) to both students and advisors upon request.
While there is an additional fee for the credit, it is typically less than at your university.
Transcripts will include Fairfield letter grade and credit. Your university academic advisor or study abroad advisor will determine how the credit transfers back for your coursework.
