Beginning in Summer 2025, SMU will offer undergraduate students the opportunity to gain real-world experience, develop in-demand skills, and enhance their intercultural competency through the Global Career Accelerator, a virtual internship program placing students on international teams to work on client-driven projects.
Through this program, students will:
- Collaborate with peers from over 50 countries in an internship-style experience.
- Bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application through innovative capstone projects.
- Work on projects for top global companies like Intel, The Grammys, and Amazon.
- Earn 3 internship credits while developing critical industry skills.
- Engage in Global LiveLabs and interactive coursework designed to enhance intercultural communication and professional development.
The program is open to all SMU students, with no prerequisites required. The flexible format ensures Mustangs can gain internship experience and enhance their career readiness while balancing academic and personal commitments.
