The Geneva Internship Program combines coursework at the Boston University Geneva Center with professional work experience in or near Geneva.
After completing the program's six-week core phase, students spend the final eight weeks interning at an organization in Geneva while also taking one elective course. Students choose from one of two tracks: International Relations or Public Health.
Why BU?
