Projects
A for-credit internship (in English or in Italian) allows students the opportunity to gain practical work experience in a local company within a variety of industry sectors. In addition to the on-site business experience, students participating in an internship program have a weekly classroom component, which provides academic support to their practical experience.
Directed Independent Research is for qualified students who have demonstrated academic rigor and curiosity toward a particular research topic. Independent research is for credit, and topics will be approved by the CIEE Milan Director and home institution and must reflect a topic that is relevant to Italy.
