Internships

An internship can provide you with valuable on-site real-world experience in a field related to your interests or future career. Within the LAS major or minor, the SISLA internship combines work in a non-academic setting with guidance and evaluation by a Latin American Studies faculty member and allows you to receive academic credit for your work.

The Latin American Studies program is currently offering several internships with local organizations for which students can earn undergraduate credit. Students are also free to set up their own interships. The LAS office is here to help; for more information on internships, how to apply and receive credit, please contact our office.

If you know of an internship you'd like to share with us, or would like to submit one for inclusion on our website, please contact our program office.

Your internship may earn you UW credits. Check the LAS Internship Packet to see what is required.
