France Internships

France internships focus on professionalization in a variety of work environments. Students will build their resumes, learn to network, and solidify their professional competencies that pair well with skills from their primary major/intended professional fields. As interns work in an intensive language environment, we require French 321 (or the equivalent) and expect advanced-level French skills (best demonstrated by an Advanced-Low ACTFL rating). Housing included, unless indicated otherwise.
