Students intern at diverse locations throughout the world, such as the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, D.C.; "Late Show with David Letterman," New York; and Junior Professional Golf Association, Bhutan. According to the 2009 National Association of Colleges and Employers Experiential Education Survey, employers extended offers of full-time employment to an average of 67.7% of their interns.
