Internships Abroad

The International Programs Office advises students on education abroad opportunities, including international internships and internships in Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories. Prior to any international travel, students are required to seek approval by the International Programs Office for credit and non-credit bearing international internships. Students participating in international internships should have a minimum of 2.5 GPA and be in good conduct standing for university approval. GPA requirements for specific internship courses are often higher than 2.5 and therefore will supersede the International Programs Office minimum requirements. Participants are required to register with the Office of International Programs by applying, completing pre-departure instruction, and enrolling in UT international health insurance. Students should contact the International Programs Office prior to Feb. 15 for international internships taking place the following summer and fall, and Oct. 1 for international internships taking place the following spring.

Students applying to participate in an independent internship must abide by UT application deadlines and policies set forth by the Office of International Programs and the Office of Career Services and submit unreviewed internship placements in advance of the posted deadlines for approval. Students should contact the International Programs Office prior to Feb. 15 for international internships taking place the following summer and fall, and Oct. 1 for international internships taking place the following spring.
