Sponsored by the Great Lakes Colleges Association, the Philadelphia Center offers students a chance to experience America's diversity, participate in a professional internship and integrate theory with reality.
Students discover what it is really like to work in the field of their choice.
Because a strong liberal arts education integrates theory with practical knowledge, students will participate in a city seminar and an elective course in addition to their internship. In the seminars, students will explore discipline based issues through discussion and reflection and engage with local guest speakers from relevant professional and academic fields. Format Applications for the Philadelphia Center are due in the spring prior to the fall internship. Students accepted into the program for the Fall semester will be in Philadelphia from the last week of August to the second week of December. Students will find their own housing and arrange their own interviews for field placements.
