CAPA Summer Internship in Dublin, Ireland

This program is currently not accepting applications and will be paused through Fall 2023. If you would like to discuss your study abroad options, please contact the CWIL office at abroad@saintmarys.edu.

This eight-week summer program gives you insight into the significant ways in which Dublin has been imagined, reinvented, and transformed by globalization. Earn 6 or 9 credits.

LOCATION
Dublin is an energetic, charming, and culturally rich Global City. With one in every eight residents being foreign born, Dublin is very much a multicultural hub. You can find foods from around the globe and take part in annual international celebrations such as the Festival of World Cultures.

PROGRAM of STUDY
Earn 6-9 credits during the summer term (courses are 3 credits unless otherwise noted; internships are 3-6 credits). Credits are issued by State University of New York (SUNY) Oswego.

EXCURSIONS and ACTIVITIES
Enjoy a full day excursion to Belfast and a Dublin city tour. Social events and program activities include an arrival reception, mid-term dinner, a farewell ceremony, and a guided tour of Dublin street art.

A guided visit to Croke Park—a national sports and cultural stadium—takes place the first weekend. Other activities reflect what is on in the city at the time and may include a tour of “Googletown” in the Docklands, exploring some of the country’s beautiful medieval castles, or joining in on the fun at the many film, food, and cultural festivals that take place each year.

HOUSING
You can opt to live in a shared apartment or a homestay (with your own room and two meals a day), all within commuting distance to the CAPA center.

TRANSPORTATION, COSTS, and FINANCIAL AID
The cost of Summer programs vary by the program. In general, you should expect to pay the standard SMC summer tuition rates, as well as an additional program fee specific to each program. Financial aid awards from Saint Mary's College will not apply to the summer session. The tuition and program fee include 6 credits, homestay with meals, orientation, study tours, and GEO Blue insurance. Students are responsible for their own round-trip transportation to Dublin as well as all personal expenses. Short term, need-based Travel Grants are available through CWIL.

ELIGIBILITY and REQUIREMENTS
The internship program is open to any major. Students need to complete at least three semesters of study and have a minimum GPA of 2.8 in order to apply.
