Virtual International Experiences  Queens students can enhance their intercultural skills and global perspectives from anywhere. We are pleased to announce our latest program option- Virtual International Experiences. About Virtual International Experiences Virtual International Experiences allow students to engage with people, cultures and coursework from around the globe from wherever they are. All that's needed is an internet connection and an open mind. These experiences provide opportunities for students to expand their worldviews and develop highly-sought after cross-cultural skills, no passport or travel required. The Virtual International Experiences listed here are offered by third-party organizations and outside institutions, not directly by Queens. Academic Credit Students wishing to participate in a virtual international internship will need to work through the Vandiver Center for Career Development for academic credit. Internships to be completed for credit must meet all of the Vandiver Center's requirements and deadlines. Eligibility ANY Queens student is eligible to participate if they meet the eligibility requirements of the host organization/institution. Costs and Using JBIP Funds for Virtual International Experiences All costs associated Virtual International Experience programs are the student's responsibly.

If a student is eligible to access their JBIP funds (see Eligibility) but will not be able to use them for a program that travels prior to graduation, the student may apply to use their JBIP funds towards one (1) approved Virtual International Experience. The cost of one approved experience up to $1,500 will be reimbursed provided the following requirements are met:
