This contract must also be approved by the International Studies Minor Advisor. The exact number of credit hours for this course depends on the terms of the contract. Contracts should be completed and signed within the first two weeks of the semester and a preliminary discussion with the faculty member during the semester prior to the internship is strongly recommended. Students enrolled in the International Studies Minor Program have undertaken a variety of rewarding internship experiences. Another is planning to work in an orphanage in Nepal during the Summer of 2000.
Some students participate in international internships during the academic year.
One minor is gaining invaluable international political experience by interning with a Member of Parliament in London, United Kingdom. To support International Studies Minors in international experiences, the Center plans to develop an internship program. The Center now offers Canadian Parliamentary Internship Scholarships for students interested in working with Members of Parliament or Senators in Ottawa, Canada during the early summer. They will work in Ottawa for six weeks in May and June 2000 and live in dorms on the University of Ottawa campus. Sam has an internship with an MP on the Foreign Affairs Committee while Rebekah has been assigned to an MP from Quebec where she will be able to use her French skills.
