Internships

Internships at HLS

At HLS, we encourage all students to participate in an internship as a vital part of your academic journey and professional development. Internships are more than just an opportunity to gain practical experience--they are a gateway to deepening your understanding of global issues, building your professional skills, and building invaluable connections in the field.  

Our goal is for every HLS student to have at least one internship throughout their time here. We help you make that possible through the following: 

  • The HLS Internship Placement Program: HLS has partnered with institutions across Indiana, the nation, and the world who are committed to hosting HLS students as interns during the semester or summer. 
  • Non-HLS Internship Opportunities: HLS publicizes internship opportunities that we think would be particularly relevant for our students. 
  • Internship Course: Students can gain credit from their internships by registering for our internship course. 
  • Internship Scholarships: We know that internships can pose a financial burden to students; therefore, we have funding available to make internships possible for all students.
