Description: Student
internships with the U.S. Department of State provide an opportunity
to gain an inside perspective on different types of positions
and responsibilities available in foreign affairs. The State
Department is looking for students with a broad range of majors,
such as business or public administration, social work, economics,
information management, journalism, and the biological and
physical and engineering sciences, as well as those majors
more traditionally identified with international affairs. Intern
duties and responsibilities may vary according to post or office
of assignment. Some students will work in Washington, DC, and
others have the opportunity to work at an embassy overseas.
Positions are both paid and unpaid.
