International Internships

International Internships are available through the IPE office. You must work closely with a faculty advisor when doing an international internship. Please download the International Internship Guidelines below for more information about requirements and procedures.

Students can participate in an international internship that may range from ten weeks to six months of full-time work. The internship integrates academic credit at Western Washington University with on-the-job experience, allowing students to gain valuable skills while working towards a degree. Students should start planning at least 2 quarters in advance for an international internship. International Programs and the Exchanges and the Career Services Center have internship resources.
