Spring Semester: January 18th to May 3rd, 2010 On the shores of beautiful Lake Geneva and surrounded by the highest peaks of the Alps, Geneva is an important center of international diplomacy, business, and humanitarian activities. Geneva is home to over 100 international organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Trade Organization, the U.N. High Commission on Refugees, the International Red Cross, and many more. Boston University's Geneva Internship Program provides students with the opportunity to connect with and play a role in these global concerns through an in-depth professional internship and carefully focused coursework. The Program offers two tracks from which students can choose to enroll in: the International Relations, History and Politics track and the Public Health track. |

It is a semester designed to bring students from international theory to international practice. Upon successful completion of the semester, students will earn 16 Boston University credits.
Students in the Public Health track please note that the World Health Organization will only accept seniors as interns.
The First Six Weeks (Core Phase)
During the first six weeks of the semester, students will enroll in one required course (based on their chosen track) and one elective course. Students will also meet with their internship advisor during this period in order to be placed according to ability, professional goals, experience, and availability of local opportunities.
The Final Eight Weeks (Internship Phase)
During the final eight weeks, students enroll in an internship. Students intern full-time, four days per week, and also enroll in one elective course.
