Trinity University

International Studies majors may receive up to three hours of credit for off-campus work experiences related to the study of international issues. Students should meet with their academic advisor or the International Studies Program Director to explore opportunities and identify appropriate experiences.

Through Trinity's Mexico, the Americas, and Spain (MAS) program, students can apply for a $1,000 subsidy to create a paid internship in San Antonio. To apply for the internship stipend, students must submit a letter to the MAS Executive Committee that identifies the proposed internship organization, supervisor and contact information, job duties, relevant personal/educational experience/qualifications, proposed work schedule, and educational and/or career objectives that will be enhanced by the internship. To receive the $1,000 stipend, students must complete 150 hours of internship work (10 hours a week for 15 weeks typically).
