Abstract | Study abroad and for-credit internships are both high-impact educational practices. Yet even before the downturn in students studying abroad in the COVID-19 era, the Institute for International Education's "Open Doors" reports indicated that in recent pre-pandemic years only about 7% of study abroad programs included for-credit internships, despite evidence that faculty-led international internship experiences present a transformational learning opportunity that offers insights into understanding complex issues on a more global scale. Expanding study abroad models to include international internship experience may be especially effective for introducing or expanding interdisciplinary learning and integrative thinking. Such programming should have a place in interdisciplinary curricula and program development. This article, based on the authors' years of experience of leading over 350 students through 14 internship-based study abroad programs in five countries, highlights reasons why a faculty-led study abroad program with internships is valuable for students and assists faculty in envisioning the possibilities and overcoming the initial hesitations that might exist when considering mounting such an ambitious endeavor.
