If this sounds like a lot, an alternative option is to study abroad for your Spring or Fall semester and then complete one of TEAN’s full time internship programs for the Spring, Fall, or Summer. TEAN currently offers full time internship programs in the following destinations:
- multiple cities in Australia
- multiple cities in New Zealand
