Want to gain a competitive edge in your future career? Internships can help you develop valuable job skills, gain practical work experience, and explore potential career paths—all while learning in a real-world environment.
Interning is a great way to further your knowledge of Latin America and use your Spanish or Portuguese language skills in a professional environment. Placements vary, but University of Oregon students have worked within the fields of journalism, pre-med, education, and international development, to name a few.
The UO Career Center provides career and job search assistance, offers strategies for choosing a career, and helps connect students with local and global internship opportunities. Students participating in internships can earn up to 12 upper-division credits in a 10-week term.
