- Internship (work experience combined with course work) with vetted providers such as EUSA, CAPA or ISA through the Study Abroad Office/ASU. Cost: program fees include ASU tuition.
- Independent internship with a non-ASU affiliated organization identified by you, the student and as approved by the GS Internship Coordinator. Cost: varies.
