This will leave ample time to explore destinations, secure travel requirements, and plan for academic coursework to be taken prior to and during the time abroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For internships, Global Studies maintains close relationships with organizations around the world to help students find meaningful internship placements that align with their career exploration goals.
