As a hub of international business and education, Minneapolis-St. Paul offers rich opportunities for internships. Recent students served with the National Model UN Office in Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota Human Rights Center and Global Classrooms. You can also intern abroad.
You’ll graduate with the skills and knowledge necessary to work for any major corporation that has a global presence.
