Special Summer Programs
Internships
Binghamton University's internship programs offer an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience along with academic credit. Every field is represented, structure is flexible, and best of all, you can take your internship anywhere in the United States. For more information regarding the types of internships listed below, contact the appropriate departments.
Management:
Opportunities often are available to obtain academic credit
for well-structured, work-related experiences in all management fields. Faculty supervision and consent are
necessary. Strong academic content and degree relevancy must be demonstrated. Pass/Fail option only.
Prerequisites include: junior standing and appropriate introductory courses.
Career Development Center
Career Development Center (CDC) offers summer internships, which are highly dependent upon student initiative. Students must identify the desired agency then submit a proposal for credit to CDC. These internships are not restricted to the Broome County area and may be taken anywhere in the United States. Summer internships may be taken for two credits (OCC 494) or four credits (OCC 394), depending upon the needs of the students and the hours of participation in the internship. The academic component of the program is the focal point, as students are assigned a faculty leader who assigns and grades all academic work. For additional information about the internship programs contact CDC at 607-777-4273.
Study Abroad
The Office of International Programs (OIP), in room G-1 of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center, provides information on study-abroad opportunities and procedures. Binghamton students interested in a summer study-abroad program may wish to explore our summer programs in China, Morocco, Spain and Turkey. We also have information on other short-term summer programs offered periodically and the summer program offered by other SUNY campuses and outside of SUNY. Visit our website at http://oip.binghamton.edu, call 607-777-2336 or stop by our office for more information.
Summer Session students interested in exploring the possibility of a period of study abroad are invited to visit or phone the office while they are on campus for the summer programs. Our resource center contains brochures describing Binghamton's programs abroad, as well as catalogs listing other SUNY programs. Students may schedule advising appointment with the study-abroad advisers.
Sports Camps
Binghamton University will host a variety of independently owned and operated Summer Sports Camps during the summer of 2009. All camps are run independent of the University, with the exception of the Junior Bearcat Club Summer Fun Camp, and are held on campus at modern, first-rate facilities.
