Description

With its glorious alpine setting, a multitude of important global organizations, and a certain sense that everything is just so, Geneva is a marvelous place to live and study. The Geneva Internship program combines coursework at the Boston University Geneva Center with professional work experience in or near Geneva.

During the first part of the program, students take one required core course and one elective course. Students also meet with the program's internship advisors in order to be placed according to ability, professional goals, experience, work habits, and availability of local placements. During the final eight weeks, students enroll in an internship. Students work full time, four days per week, while also enrolling in one elective course, which meets on Fridays.

Students also choose from one of two tracks and must specify their track selection at the time of submitting an application: International Relations or Public Health.
