Career Services Connections

Internships
Sponsors of ICAR interns benefit from the exceptional analytical and interpersonal skills of our students. Internships provide students with opportunities to incorporate their academic work and professional experience into the practice of conflict analysis and resolution. Internship Coordinator:  Dr. Daniel Rothbart. 703.993.4474, drothbar@gmu.edu

Applied Practice and Theory Graduate Student Teams
Applied Practice and Theory (APT) teams are graduate student teams that work on a year-long project under the direction of a faculty member.  Teams conduct both international and domestic projects: most recently with the FAA, Fairfax County Fire Department and the Dominican Republic.  Generally the students will design the
project and then complete it over the course of the year.  Contact ICAR Career Services for more information on having an APT team work on your project.
