Internship Program
The American University of Rome supports student endeavors to gain ‘real-world,’ practical work experience by offering various internship opportunities every semester. Academic internships for course credit provide students with a practical way of relating their studies to their career interests. The benefits of an internship include an enhanced ability to make informed career decisions, a greater appreciation for college coursework, increased marketability and the opportunity to obtain academic credit while gaining real experience. To apply for an internship, applicants must be enrolled as full-time junior or senior students and in good academic standing (GPA 2.0 or above). Academic internships are generally not practical for study abroad students who visit AUR for only one semester. Students who speak Italian well are more easily placed in internships in Rome and throughout Italy.
For more information and details on internships and employment opportunities and career services seminars, please contact Prof. Kathleen Fitzsimmons, Coordinator of Career Services and Internships at k.fitzsimmons@aur.edu or Prof. Bob Sonnabend Career Services and Internships Advisor at r.sonnabend@aur.edu
