Considering an international internship? Here's everything you need to know to navigate the website, get the information you need, and start your application.
Key points about the program:
- IE3 Global Internships is a program of the Oregon University System that has been sending students to intern abroad in full-time work experiences since 1996.
- Interns earn academic credit at their home university while abroad.
- The program is open to Juniors, Seniors, Post-Bac, and Grad students enrolled at eligible universities in Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Utah and Montana. Students at Lane Community College are also eligible.
- As an intern you pay a program fee instead of paying tuition. The program fee includes up to 12 academic credits per term, orientation, support through the application process, internship placement, support throughout the internship, and international health insurance.
- You can apply most or all of your financial aid and may be eligible for scholarships.
- Once your application is accepted by the IE3 program (ie. After your interview on your home campus), the Regional Director will work with you to find the internship that best fits your goals and background. If you are not accepted by your first choice internship site, the Regional Director will work to identify either an alternate site or to discuss alternate timing for your first choice.
