Finding an International Internship

Resumes, Cover Letters, and Letters of Inquiry

Special note for internships to be completed outside of the U.S.: If you are arranging your internship independently and seeking academic credit from UWM, you must work through CIE's Study Abroad application process to obtain pre-departure orientation and advising and obtain mandatory UW System health insurance.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact AJ Corner, Center for International Education, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, (414) 229-6925 or corner@uwm.edu

All education abroad experiences, including but not limited to study abroad, internships, and research, for which a student will receive UWM academic credit and/or funding (i.e. scholarship funds, travel grants), are subject to review to by UWM's Travel Safety Advisory Committee (ITSC). Students should begin their planning by personally checking the State Department Travel Warnings/Alerts (www.travel.state.gov) and consulting with their academic advisor and staff in the Center for International Education Overseas Programs Office (Pearse 166; overseas@uwm.edu). The planning process must allow for at least one month for this review, if such review is deemed necessary. Note that locations subject to review are not limited to those under the State Department Warnings; there may be additional locations that require review and approval by the ITSC.
