Students can partake in a Summer International Internship to obtain hands-on work and culture experience while earning 3 Chapman credits. Internships are offered in seven locations worldwide including Santiago, Shanghai, Prague, Madrid, Dublin, Australia (multiple cities), and New Zealand (multiple cities).  Placements are customized and based on the student’s major, career goals, and interests. Apply fall semester prior.

Every Interterm and summer, Chapman faculty lead groups of students on Travel Courses for 1-4 weeks and you can earn 3-4 Chapman credits to a range of international and domestic locations. Travel Course subjects include language, environmental science, leadership, business, humanities, and others. Apply one semester prior.
