Qualifications

Competition for international internships is keen, as the sponsoring organizations are seeking highly capable in terns. Only the most qualified candidates are selected.

While we make every effort to find the best placement to match your academic and career goals, we cannot guarantee a specific placement. Placements are dependent upon your credentials, the availability of suitable positions, and a possible interview. When requesting a placement, students should carefully consider the commitment, maturity, level of responsibility, and qualifications required for an international internship. Please keep in mind students may be required to work during scheduled social/cultural events, including semester breaks. An internship is a serious commitment which, when accepted, must be fulfilled.

Students who derive the most from professional internships are mature, self-motivated, reliable, friendly, attentive to details, flexible, intellectually curious and have a strong initiative.

* Academic requirements, including assignments during the internship, will be specified by your department, the instructor of record, and the International Programs Internship Coordinator. Students must meet their adviser and/or departmental intern coordinator or professors to obtain academic approval for their internship. Non-FSU students must obtain approval from their home school.
