Qualifications

There are no citizenship requirements for interns. However, all applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. International students enrolled in U.S.-based colleges or universities are eligible with approval from your host institution.

If you are not a U.S. citizen and unsure if you are authorized to intern in the United States, please email EducationalPrograms@CarterCenter.org to check eligibility.

At the start of an internship, qualified applicants must also meet one of the following criteria:

• Undergraduate Students
  All undergraduate candidates must have completed at least two years of study by the start of the internship. For example, qualified candidates within the United States will have a minimum of 60 credit hours earned toward their bachelor's degree.
• Recent Undergraduates
  Recent graduates may apply if they completed their undergraduate degree within 24 months of the internship start date.
• Graduate Students
  Graduate student applicants can either be currently enrolled as students or have been enrolled within 24 months of their internship start date.
