During the summer, serious candidates are then required to complete a comprehensive application, including a detailed personal statement and recommendations from their major departments, the Dean of Students, and former employers. In the final step in the process, at the beginning of the fall term, a committee of faculty and administrators interview the prospective interns and select those who will have an international internship the following summer. The Belk International Program Director then works with successful candidates to find the most suitable placements abroad. As another option within the Belk International Pro gram, Queens students have the opportunity to have a semester's study abroad in Hong Kong. Queens students have a wide choice of courses in English from the extensive HKBU curriculum.
Admission is through a competitive selection process.
There are also special exchange arrangements with the institutes at Sligo and Letterkenny in the Republic of Ireland. As with the internships, students who are interested in either of these programs are encouraged to prepare well in advance by maintaining an excellent academic record.
