| Florida State University has been a strong and important
presence in Panama City for 50 years. FSU Panama is, in
fact, our oldest international program. With such deep
roots in a multinational crossroads city, we have excellent
working relationships with Panamanian agencies and enterprises.
Internship opportunities are especially interesting because
both the region’s natural and business settings
are so distinctive.
The Republic of Panama is a center of world trade and
the meeting place of two oceans. It is an unparalleled
place in which to learn about and enter into Latin America’s
crucial world role. The following is a list of recent
placements. Many more are available. Specific
placements are not and cannot be guaranteed.
Note: Internship applicants must have a strong
background
in both Spanish comprehension and conversation. Total
immersion in the language and culture is part of the
internship.
