The First Seven Weeks (Core Phase)
During the first part of the program, students take two required core courses: Contemporary Irish Society and The History of Ireland. Students in the Health Science Track replace the History of Ireland course with the Ethics in Health Care course. Students also begin one elective course that runs over the duration of the program: The Arts in Ireland, Modern Irish Literature, or Mass Media in Ireland. Students also meet with the program’s internship advisors in order to be placed according to ability, professional goals, experience, work habits, and availability of local opportunities. The Health Sciences Track runs in the fall only.

The Final Seven Weeks (Internship Phase)
During the final seven weeks, students participate in internships with organizations in the greater Dublin area. Students work full-time, four days per week, while also continuing their elective course on Friday mornings.
