Each program takes about four months to create, and, therefore, can commence at your convenience. Professional Development Internships are designed for recent college graduates about to begin a career or graduate studies, who want international experience in a professional field to give them an edge when seeking employment or a place in graduate school. Classes are taught in English, but intensive language is required during the first phase of the program. A multi-disciplinary course introduces the history, politics, economics, geography and culture of the host country. Students then pursue an independent, well-defined field research project during the second phase of the program.
Internships are also available.
Placements are available in areas such as agriculture, education, environmental projects, public health, small business and women's projects. Students gain a first-hand introduction to the Korean business world, economy and society. The internships are primarily an opportunity to gain first hand exposure to the intern's career field. The London internships are also available in summer. The internships carry eight credit hours and students also take two courses carrying four credits each.
