Take it to the next level
An international internship is the perfect opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills learned on campus in an international work setting. PLU offers internship opportunities in London, Namibia, Trinidad & Tobago, Mexico, Norway and much more! Internships are available in multiple disciplines, including economics, political science, women's studies, broadcasting, publishing, global studies, marketing, public relations, environmental science, social work, and religion.
Each internship opportunity in each location has a slightly different format. On average, students can earn from 2 to 12 credits of International Work Experience (INTN 477). Additionally, students can arrange for independent study credit in their major and/or course equivalencies where appropriate.
