Management Internship Programs

The School of Management, in collaboration with BU Study Abroad, also offers one-semester internship programs in Auckland, New Zealand; Dublin, Ireland; Madrid, Spain; Paris, France; Seoul, South Korea; Sydney, Australia and Washington, D.C. These programs were created for Management students in locations where Boston University has existing internship programs. Students on these programs take one liberal arts course with students from Boston University’s internship program, participate in BU-supervised internships, and take business management courses at a local university through direct enrollment. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive School of Management credit for management courses taken at the local institution.
