Students will earn up to 6 transfer credits for the 7-week internship. A few weeks before the program, students will have an internship consultation meeting with the placement team virtually and will be assigned a provisional placement based on skills, professional goals and interests. Most students will learn of their provisional placement prior to departure for Prague, others will learn upon arrival. Once in Prague, students will have an on-site interview with the placement supervisor and internships will be finalized. Each internship experience will be monitored through a mid-point review and feedback.
