- The internships are within commuting distance of the center.
Starting an internship abroad with CAPA
Students participate in an interactive seminar to prepare them for their internship experience. Group orientation exercises are used to examine issues of culture and integration, and focused individual sessions examine site-specific information. All internships are contingent upon a successful interview with the internship-host organization, which will take place right after the student’s arrival and orientation. A seminar on interview techniques is presented prior to the interview. Internship students are required to participate in a seminar series entitled “Learning through Internships.” Faculty act as internship mentors to ensure that participants have academic guidance during their internships. Students produce papers, write reflective journals, and make oral presentations examining the real learning that occurs during their programs. Students produce a portfolio at the end of the internship that must meet clear academic criteria in order for the student to attain credit for the internship.
CAPA internships provide lasting results
Students are monitored throughout their internships to ensure that they are receiving appropriate training and guidance. At the end of each session, students evaluate their experience. These evaluations are shared with their home campus.
CAPA offers community-based service-learning in London
If you are studying in London, consider a community-based service learning experience in lieu of an internship. Students on the CAPA London Program have the opportunity to enroll in a six-credit course, "The Social Dynamics of London: Contemporary Issues through Service-Learning", that includes 10-15 hours of service-learning each week. Read more about community-based service learning.
What CAPA students say
"I have to say that participating in the CAPA London Program was truly the best decision I could have made for my study abroad experience. Not only was the staff helpful and ready to aid in my concerns but also warm and friendly. Where else could I have the opportunity to do an internship and take classes at the same time? I certainly got great career and hands-on work experience that will aid me in a future career. Aside from the education and friendly nature, being in London itself was a dream. Getting to walk down Kensington High Street, take a stroll in Hyde Park, meet celebrities, or even take in a show in Leicester Square - every day was unbelievable! The memories, friends and effect that CAPA had on my study abroad experience will stay with me forever."
