International Peace and Conflict Resolution
Internships
The American system of higher education places great value on the practical learning made possible through the internship philosophy. Students from all over the world envy the 'foot-in-the-door' experience that students who study through the American system are able to take advantage of prior to formal degree completion. Arcadia's M.A. in IPCR follows firmly in this tradition. The internship experience is designed as a crucial second-year component within the overall full-time IPCR Program.
Students are expected to actively apply theoretical and analytical foundations learned in first-year studies to 'real world, real time' professional situations of their choosing, in an effort to challenge themselves, as well as to gain experience which will prove valuable to them as graduates seeking employment. The fieldwork opportunity is a decisive advantage for Arcadia's M.A. candidates over students graduating from other more exclusively academic-based programs.
Because IPCR is a small, student-driven program, we are committed to addressing the individual interests and needs of our students. Program faculty work closely with M.A. candidates to find an ideal study abroad and internship site that fits their career goals.
