PRESIDENTIAL
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
The
American University in Cairo
The Program
Established
in 1981, the Presidential Internship Program at The American University in
Cairo (AUC) provides recent university graduates the opportunity to spend an
academic year working at the highest levels of an international university,
learn Arabic, and experience life in Cairo.
Working at AUC
Interns
work full-time in one of seven university offices, such as the Office of the
President and Office of Communications, which provide opportunities for
professional development, mentoring, and substantive work. At the Research
Institute for a Sustainable Environment, I recently returned from conducting
fieldwork for agricultural and community development projects in desert oasis
communities.
Benefits
Program
benefits include a monthly living stipend, faculty housing, private Arabic
tutoring, subsidized trips around Cairo and Egypt, and more.
Applying
We
have traditionally accepted a diverse array of students, including those with
no background in Arabic or Middle Eastern Studies. Interested students should
view the attached brochure and visit our website for more information on the program and how to
apply. They can also visit our Facebook page

The application is due January 15, 2015. Contact interns@aucegypt.edu with any questions.
