Our pre-professional offerings:
INTERNSHIPS AND OFF-CAMPUS STUDY
Through the Center for Global and Career Education, you can participate in both internships and off-campus study opportunities.
Earlham students find challenging and meaningful internships in our local community, in other cities during the summer, and in far-flung places as part of off-campus study programs. These opportunities are available in every field imaginable, from science and health care, to education and social service, to the arts and humanities.
Earlham is renowned for our off-campus study programs. Whether you want to study away for a semester or a year, or spend a few weeks in the summer doing research on-location with faculty, there’s a program for you.
Student and faculty collaborative research
Collaboration is the key to research and scholarly activity at Earlham. Students develop close working relationships with faculty in the classroom, laboratory, library and in the field.
Earlham faculty regularly involve students in their professional research projects and help students pursue projects of their own design. Of Earlham’s teaching faculty, 85 percent report having conducted research with students. This interaction extends across all the disciplines at the College and often to off-campus sites throughout the United States and the world.
