What is it like to have a job in a major American City? The American Cities Internship Program translates Wellesley’s liberal arts education into action by providing each student with an intensive, career-related internship experience and the opportunity to live in cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco. Students are placed in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations with alumnae mentors when possible. Through their internships, students become familiar with professional responsibilities, create networks for future employment, and learn the importance of cultivating relationships with co-workers of diverse ages and backgrounds. By living independently, students gain an understanding of city living from a multidisciplinary perspective.
