Internships
The Russian Department, in close collaboration with Wellesley Career Education, offers 8-10 week internships in Moscow, Russia, that come with a $4,000 stipend. There are openings at
All internships prefer candidates with advanced Russian skills, so a successful applicant should try to complete RUSS 301, 302, 305, or 306 (or the equivalent) before the internship begins. You may apply for more than one internship. In some cases it is possible to accept a student who has just graduated (i.e. a 2024 alum might be chosen for the summer of 2024), but such a case would be an exception.

"I had the most positive experience possible at the Russian Donors Forum... The office is an all-female environment, and although everyone is always busy with work there is a lot of communication (and laughter) in the office... Each person with whom I worked took it upon themselves to make sure my time in Moscow was as easy and enjoyable as possible... I would highly recommend this internship to any ‘Russianist’ with an interest in philanthropy or non-profits."
