About the Program

Program Details

Summer 2025 Application Deadline: Friday, November 1, 2024

Program participants complete an eight-week internship between May - July in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. The research component is determined by several factors including the internship location, site supervisor, and the student’s research interests. Regardless of the site location, all internships focus on learning and applying research & business skills to the work experience. UTC students selected for this program will live together in apartment-style housing in Ho Chi Minh City.

Note: Students selected to participate in this program must complete Office for URaCE pre-internship & research training (to be completed via Canvas and in-person meetings before the internship commences), and additional activities during and after the experience.
