United Nations Summer Study practicums are group-based consulting projects with an inter-governmental or non-governmental organization--they are not internships. Student teams, with faculty oversight, work with their partner organization to define a need and develop a product, which may be data collection and analysis, a website or social media, policy recommendations, etc. In the process, students gain invaluable hands-on professional experience in the operations of international organizations, their professional culture, and collaborative work in a group with strict deadlines. Each team will give a formal presentation of their final project to the client as well as UNSS. Practicum faculty supervisors will set meeting times and time commitment — given the narrow time frame of UNSS, it is expected that students participating in the practicum will at minimum devote approximately fifteen hours of work per week to this component.

Application and admission into the United Nations Summer Study program is required to take this course. For more information, send an email to unstudy@newschool.edu.
