Summer International Internships

Locations, costs and deadlines listed on this page have been updated for Summer 2023. COVID-19 pandemic responses and policies may affect these arrangements. Please revisit this page regularly for updates.

The University of Richmond offers international internship experiences during the summer months to traditional undergraduate students. When interning overseas during the academic year or semester is not an option, a summer experience offers the opportunity to gain international work experience in a more compact timeframe.

Internship Providers

We offer international internship experiences in partnership with these experienced organizations:

  • Connecting Worlds Abroad (COWA)
  • Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE)
  • IES Abroad
  • International Study Abroad (ISA)
