The
UAEP 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.
Scholarships for Internships are available for UNF students.
Downloadable applications for internship funding are available
here. Please check with Dr. Borg about application deadlines
throughout the semester.
