Through these internships, students will enhance their understanding of business/work practices in Spain, develop cross-cultural skills, and strengthen their professional competencies within a Spanish business/work context.

This is an official University of Richmond program, so you may qualify for a UR Fellowship (***2.0 GPA requirement). Please check with the appropriate office on campus or talk to your advisor.
