The minimum number of students per group is 4 and maximum 13. Students will be accepted to participate in this program provided they have the approval of the Director's Office and sign their commitment to completing the program on enrolment.

*The schedule for students who choose the 120 hour internship course will be the same as those who choose the 45 hour internship course. They will attend their internsip 2 mornings each week (cannot schedule classes these days). These mornings will be more intense for those choosing the 120 hour option as they will have to complete 11 hours each week during the Fall semester or 8.5 hours during the Spring semester. The 120 hour options carries an additional cost of $550. Please contact Sol Education Abroad in advance if you are interested in the option for increased hours.

The schedul for students who choose the 45 hour internship is 1 ½ hours per day for 2 days per week. It is usually set for Tuesday and Thursday mornings. However, it is possible it could be Monday and Wednesday mornings. Fridays are free.

Requirements & Process

The only requirement for the internship class is to have an appropriate level of Spanish. Those students who test at level 5 or or are able to choose the internships in Educational Institutions or Service Learning & Community. Students who test at level 7 or higher are able to be placed in any of the fouroptions. Interested students must submit via an email a résumé as part of their Sol Education Abroad paperwork. Once a student is selected for the internship class, the assigned university supervisor will select the institution where they will work. This is based off of the résumé, skills, level of Spanish, etc.
