Internships: while popular, internship opportunities need close supervision and planning, especially when a student decides to intern in a country that has a foreign language and culture. ALI can arrange and supervise professional internships as

Winter Term Programs: Many universities encourage students to take advantage of the winter term that is built into the academic year. This is
a perfect time for a short, intensive study abroad experience. ALI can organize two- or three- week courses to meet the specific needs of
groups from any discipline or professional field.

experiences at institutions related to a specific field of interest. These courses are ideal
