Intercultural Studies Internships
This essential experience gives ICS majors a foundational context for communicating and ministering across cultures.
Intercultural Studies (ICS) internships can be completed in a variety of ways depending on your goals. The Christian Ministries Department partners with other organizations to provide the following types of ICS internship experiences:
Internships Through Global Partners
Students have the option to travel to Guatemala with Students International, and Thailand with Santisuk to teach English. These trips are offered every other year to allow students to participate in both during their time at Northwestern. In order to provide significant cross-cultural and service-learning experience, these trips normally last at least three weeks.
Independent Internships
You may also choose to do an Independent Internship in an area of your choice, as long as it fits the course criteria. The Christian Ministries Department is developing relationships with a variety of international and domestic missions and nonprofit organizations through whom these internships can be completed. This internship needs to be pre-arranged with the Intercultural Studies professors and it must be approved by the Department Chair.
