International Internships

The IE3 Global Internship program is a supervised, practical, international work experience. Internships range from 10 weeks to six months for full-time work. You can earn academic credit at OSU for your internship experience, allowing you to gain valuable skills while working towards your degree. Internships are an increasingly important and integral component of a well-rounded education and an international internship is an excellent way to gain insight into a culture, an industry, and an organization. For more information see: http://ie3global.ous.edu/ or make an appointment with Kristin Coleman at 541-322-3136, email or stop by Cascades Hall room 240.
