Gain Experience, Locally and Abroad
At Kenyon, fieldwork takes many forms — consider a local internship, a course with a global component or a semester or year abroad.
Community Internship Program
Build essential skills by interning with local employers and nonprofits during the academic year or over the summer. Kenyon offers funding to organizations that otherwise would not be able to support paid internships.
Travel-Embedded Courses
In these full-length courses designed around Kenyon’s two-week spring break, you immerse yourself in a topic — Greek antiquities, the Galapagos Islands, the global art market — before immersing yourself in a place. Trips are fully funded, with rigorous on-site activities designed for deep and reflective learning.
Globally Connected Courses
Each of Kenyon’s globally connected courses partners with a related course taught at a non-U.S. institution. Through shared readings, discussions and activities, you examine course material through different cultural lenses.
Study and Work Abroad
Kenyon offers more than 250 immersive study abroad programs across 50+ countries. Programs can advance your language skills or deepen other areas of study. Some, like those coordinated through the School for International Training, offer independent study and experiential opportunities.
