International Experience Opportunities

Every year since 2002, IPCR students have had the exciting opportunity to participate in a trip to a post-conflict state. This week-long cohort trip is part of our Case in Conflict course.

During the week, you’ll meet with scholars, practitioners, and local peacebuilders to learn about the conflict and its aftermath. We will engage in critical inquiry: gathering and evaluating information, ideas, and assumptions from multiple perspectives to produce well-reasoned analysis and understanding, leading to new ideas, applications, and questions. The trip also fosters team-building and networking to help you identify potential career aspirations and avenues of professional development.

You may choose to conduct your internship in the U.S. or overseas. Previous internship entities and locations include the following: Heifer International (Sierra Leone), Home for Cooperation (Cyprus), The Peace Center (PA), The Nationalities Service Center (PA), The Carter Center (Atlanta, Georgia), and The International Peace and Security Institute (Washington, D.C.).
