Internships are intended to provide the student with an opportunity to apply linguistic, cultural, analytical, interpretive, and creative skills developed in coursework. Internships typically take place outside the University’s Coral Gables campus in businesses that cater to language-specific clientele, healthcare programs that serve the community, cultural or community centers, or a relevant not-for-profit organization, library, or archive.  

Each intern must have a clearly designed project that he/she is capable of completing by the end of the internship. In some cases, the organization will recommend a project that meets its immediate needs, and in others the intern and the organization may develop a project that is mutually beneficial. In all cases, the internship must produce work of value to the organization while also providing the student a meaningful learning experience, preferably one that is indicative of the functions of that organization.

Internships are counted for credit. A maximum of 3 semester hours of internship credit may be counted toward the student’s degree program.
