Wh\ go

abroad?

Distinguish Yourself

Gaining international experience is an investment for

your future career and graduate study. Seventy-five

percent of recently polled employers indicated that

internships matter. Distinguish yourself even more by

going international.

Solidify Your Language

Although you may not need to know a second

language to do your international internship,

exposure to foreign languages is a great benefit.

In many careers, the pay is higher if you know a

language other than English, and in many careers,

knowing more than one language is required. If

you do know a foreign language, completing an

internship in a place where that language is spoken

may help you practice business language you might

not have used before.

Experience Culture

Today’s professional world is smaller and more

globalized than ever before—it is necessary that you

have an understanding of different cultures in order

to work with them and in them.

It’s Affordable

Some internships pay, and some provide housing;

some students receive financial assistance from ISP.

Don’t forget that your BYU scholarships and federal

financial aid apply to cover expenses.

Bragging Rights

Make sure you mention your international

internship on your resume, on applications, and

in your interviews. Your unique experience will be

remembered by potential employers.

Earn BYU Credit

An academic internship helps

fulfill BYU requirements by

offering credit toward your

major or minor.

Individual

Internships

If you don’t find the internship you are looking for

through ISP, let us help you create your own individual

internship for BYU credit. You select the location, the

type of work you would like to do, and the semester

that best works for you. Maybe you already have an

internship set up and you need to find out how to

earn BYU credit, or perhaps you are searching for an

internship overseas—whatever advice you need, let ISP

help you get started.

Application deadlines for individual internships

• Fall Semester: 1 July

• Winter Semester: 1 November

• Spring and Summer Terms: 1 March

How to Set Up

an Individual

Internship

1. Find an individual internship.

Finding an internship is your responsibility, but ISP

may have networking ideas to help you get started.

2. Develop your Internship Proposal for ISP.

After finding your internship, complete an Individual

Internship Proposal for ISP review. The proposal

form may be found on the ISP web site and at the

office. Proposals should be turned in to Aaron Rose,

international internships coordinator.

3. Apply for an individual internship.

Once your internship proposal has been approved,

complete an online application on the ISP web site.

4. Prepare for cultural challenge.

ISP’s pre-departure seminar covers topics such as

cross-cultural communication, travel safety and

international security, and professional protocols in

an international setting. All students who wish to

represent BYU while abroad on an internship must

complete this seminar. Check with ISP staff for a

seminar schedule.

5. ISP will register you for BYU credit.

Through the Course Contract method, ISP will

register you for BYU credit you will be taking while

abroad. ISP will explain course contract forms,

working with faculty, and offer advice on course

selection. ISP creates the international section of your

courses and will register you for them.
