Global Security & Development Program

Internships

The internship component of this program provides graduate students a unique opportunity for practical training and professional development in a chosen field of international affairs, development and public policy. The internship encourages students to gain in-depth knowledge of an organization and its relation to certain issues and policy processes, to define and pursue your own career aspirations, and to network for the future. It requires a minimum of 250 hours over a period of at least 12 weeks. Most students end up working close to full-time.

For international students, work authorization is required.
