For 25 years Syracuse University's London Center has integrated academic, professional, and field experiences that take full advantage of the city's diverse resources. Now students in all disciplines may enroll in a professional, high-level internship in their career field and complete a full semester's coursework toward their professional or liberal arts degrees. You fill out a DIPA study abroad application, including the Internship Request Form. Applications are reviewed according to stated goals, academic record, prior experience, skills, and recommendations. We recommend you discuss the appropriateness of an internship to your program of study with your advisor before applying.
Some schools limit the number of internship credits that can be applied toward a major.
SU Newhouse students must obtain written approval from the Newhouse Student Records Office in order to earn any communications internship credit. While placements cannot be guaranteed, every attempt is made to mach students to organizations appropriate to their skills and abilities. Each intern has a faculty sponsor in the appropriate field of study who provides guidance and sets standards for a report or other academic project undertaken during the internship and who consults with an on-site supervisor responsible for the student's work at the organization. Students are given a grade by the academic sponsor for the internship experience.
