Graduate Student Capstone and Practicum Programs

Access to local know-how and networks can be transformative for students embarking on a project in an unfamiliar global setting.

That is why we work with graduate schools across Columbia to ensure that our Global Centers serve as a supportive launchpad and homebase for students as they plan for and immerse themselves in global capstone and practicum experiences. Situated in 11 cities across four continents, the Global Centers are a powerful resource for graduate students across disciples seeking transformative, hands-on learning experiences.

From working with schools to identify the perfect local partners and projects, to providing students with in-depth orientations, the Global Centers are Columbia students’ gateway to the world, helping to bring life-changing global fieldwork to reality for students.
