Internships

The Honors Program offers a comprehensive internship program open to all UNF students regardless of major. These internships are offered for varying amounts of time ranging from one to two months during the summer to a full semester. In rare cases, a student may prefer to participate in an internship for the entire academic year.

UNF's goal is to become a national leader in providing real world experiences to our students. Internships are offered in the local community as well as in Tallahassee, Washington, DC, New York City, and internationally. UNF Visiting Distinguished Scholar Nancy Soderberg is using her extensive network of contacts in the political arena, government, the UN, and national and international agencies to help us establish internships. Ambassador Soderberg was a foreign policy and national security advisor in the Clinton Administration and an ambassador to the United Nations. She is the author of The Super Power Myth: The Use and Misuse of American Might.
