The AACC internship provides undergraduate students an opportunity to undertake creative and challenging assignments. This experience is offered as a 3-credit hour Global Studies 199 class where all interns will attend a weekly seminar to develop professional skills and learn about Asian American and Asian international cultures, experiences, and identities.
