SUFE Internship Guidelines

Pre-Requisites

You must have completed 3 semesters of Chinese to participate in the internship.

Availability

Spots are competitive. You will need to apply for the internship course when you complete the Course Selection Form.

Credit and Course Requirements

The internship course is worth 3 credits and will replace one of the business courses usually taken at SUFE.

Credit is awarded for the academic component of the internship. Interns will complete a research project, including a 5,000 word paper (in English). The work will be supervised throughout the term by a faculty advisor, Dr. Jing Dong, who will meet with students 4 times per semester and schedule individual meetings to discuss students' research project plans.

In the fall and spring semesters, interns will spend 10-12 hours per week (or 120 hours a semester) at the internship site. During the summer term, interns will spend 20 hours per week at the internship site. (Note that in addition to language, summer students only take one business content course. If a student selects the internship course, they will not take any other content courses.)
