This process helps to assure that a student will be matched with the appropriate internship. Recent internship opportunities have been with a Madrid tourism office, a local radio station, and a social services agency, among others. Students may receive a variable number of credits for the internship depending on the number of hours they work and the policies of their home institution. The internship involves students in substantial projects for their host company or organization. Internship requirements vary according to major, but generally include keeping a work log and submitting a substantive paper.
Students correspond with their Marist faculty advisor via the Internet.
Internships are assessed by faculty at Marist College. Courses are designed to improve students' oral and written Spanish language skills and provide a cultural and historical framework for their experience. Students have access to all university facilities and activities. Students earn 15 credit hours per semester. Detailed course descriptions are available from the Office of International Education.
