Internships at AUK allow Dartmouth students to gain professional experience in an international location while contributing to the growth and development of a liberal arts university in a key part of the world.
Fall interns are typically in Kuwait from mid-September until just before the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. Spring interns are typically in Kuwait from mid-March through the end of May.
Students may also audit Arabic or other courses with instructor permission. There are opportunities to participate in other activities to deepen their understanding of Kuwait and the region.
