What are “virtual internships”?

Virtual internships are meaningful work experiences for students to support a variety of projects at organizations (businesses, NGOs, universities, research centers, etc.) across the globe, directly from their home. Columbia students can apply to any virtual internship across the Global Centers network.  In general, the Summer 2022 internships will last from May to early September.
