Take advantage of scholarly internship opportunities at the University of Washington!
The Visiting International Student Internship & Training Program (VISIT) permits students pursuing degrees at universities outside of the US to participate in full-time supervised research and work-based learning experiences at the University of Washington.

An internship is a structured and guided work-based learning program that pertains directly to your study requirements at your home institution, provides on-the-job exposure to American techniques and methodologies outside the classroom, and enhances your knowledge of American culture and society.

As an Intern, you will be hosted by a University of Washington academic department or program and closely supervised by a member of the faculty. Interns must hold "J-1 student intern" visa status.

The internship may begin at any time and be any length up to 12 months long. You must enter the US on or before the start listed on the VISIT application and the DS-2019.
