Internships
MACIE INTERNSHIPS
Internship Overview
This required internship serves as a culminating experience, enabling students to apply their academic knowledge to the practice
of educational development in a cross-cultural or international placement. The internship provides a unique opportunity for
students to learn about and participate in a cultural and professional environment different from their own.
This internship may take place in an international setting or in an under-served cultural population within the United States.
Potential internship sites include, but are not limited to: foreign schools or institutions of higher learning, overseas non-governmental
organizations, non-formal educational extension work, American Indian reservations, migrant communities in the U.S, or social
services institutions providing educational services. Professional internship activities may include any of the following:
assisting in educational instruction such as tutoring and performing the duties associated with teaching assistantship, educational
administrative duties, non-formal instruction or training in specialized programs, data collection and analysis, or the creation
of public service educational programs.
Mentoring and Supervision of Interns:
Throughout the entire internship experience, each intern is registered for an on-line course EDFI 6890, Internship in Cross-Cultural Education for 3-6 credit hours. This course is designed to provide support and guidance, in addition to facilitating professional
development as students participate in their service-learning experiences. This on-line course is designed and managed by
a BGSU/MACIE faculty member who facilitates the student constructed shared process together with the other MACIE student interns.
In addition to providing a safe environment for development, this web-based format satisfies the logistical challenges created
by students participating in internships that take them to distant places. An additional advantage to the on-line course
is the more immediate contact that interns will have with their supervisor and other colleagues in the program. Challenges
that arise can be handled more expeditiously when electronic communication facilitates daily assistance. This process necessitates
fewer on-site visits.
