Affiliate Partner International Internships
Interning abroad is an amazing opportunity to expand your degree program and add to your resume! Living and working in another country enhances one’s professional skill set, gives you a global perspective, builds language skills, and develops cross-cultural competencies. You could even bring back A&M credits as part of your experience, depending on the program.
A&M provides multiple opportunities to intern abroad for a summer or semester through affiliate programs. The providers of these programs usually support students with planning, logistics, transportation and housing in the country you select.
Affiliate program internships are administered through Education Abroad and the process is similar to finding and applying for a study abroad program through the Education Abroad portal. While the following affiliate partner and exchange programs are closely aligned to COALS majors, it is important to meet with an academic advisor early in order to see how the internship could fit with your specific degree plan and career goals.
Note: Not all affiliate provider programs are listed in the Education Abroad portal. To apply to these programs, please email the Education Abroad Affiliate Provider Team and let them know you wish to apply to a program “not in portal.”

- International internships through affiliate program providers come with a program cost. These are not paid internships.
- Academic credit for transfer is often available through the program provider, but not always. Consult your academic department about arranging for A&M credit.
