During the first week in Moscow the students will meet with the internship coordinator to discuss potential positions and begin scheduling interviews. Interviews will continue for the next few weeks. Due to the working schedules of some of the organizations, some internships will begin later than others. Most internships are offered on a part time basis. Standard internships run five to fifteen hours per week.
Students proceed directly to their internships after the last class of the day.
The internship coordinator will act as an ongoing advisor to the students during the course of their internships. At the end of the semester, students are expected to write a short evaluation of their experience which will be used as a resource for other potential interns. Only students fluent in Russian can be guaranteed internships. However, in the past academic year, all interested students desiring internships were provided with one. Organizations participating in the program reserve the right to refuse the assistance of any intern.
