This section consists of 3 segments: Personal Information, Academic
Information, and Medical Information. Please complete this section in full
and then move on to Part 2.
Please make two copies of this form, have them signed,
and attach each to a separate faculty recommendation.
TO THE STUDENT:
Your admission to the GW Madrid Study program will be
based largely on academic information -- your transcript and this recommendation
form. It is important, therefore, to have this form filled out by a faculty
member in your major subject area.
We realize that you may have only recently decided on
a major, may have taken only a few courses in the subject area, and may
have been only in large classes where the teacher does not know you well.
Nonetheless, it is better to discuss your program with one of these faculty
members and have him/her fill out this form than to have the form filled
out by someone who knows you better but teaches in a discipline you do
not intend to pursue abroad.
Please sign the waiver, give this form to the appropriate
faculty member, discuss the program if you have not already done so, and
ask him/her to complete the form and send it to:
Office for Study Abroad and International Programs
The George Washington University
609 22nd Street, NW
Washington, DC 20052
Student's full name: (please print)
I hereby waive my right to access the information on this
form and ask that the form be filled out and sent to the GW Office for
Study Abroad and International Programs.

motivation. It would be helpful if you could comment on the strengths of
the individual as well as any weaknesses that could impede the student's
ability to succeed overseas. We thank you in advance for your time and
thoroughness in preparation of this recommendation. Please not that our
receipt of this form (with written recommendation on reverse) is essential
to the student's application for admi ssion. Thank you.

Academic area of internship request:
All students planning to participate in the internship
program should fill out this internship request form. Please print out
this form and attach it to a sheet of paper with your answers to the questions.
In addition, this proposal is to be agreed upon by the student and the
home college Major Advisor and signed by both, as well as by the student's
Academic Dean or other home college official responsible for approving
the internship for transfer credit.
The information provided below will assist the director in finding a
suitable internship placement. While many students undertake field work
in their major area, this is not always required as long as the student's
academic background and experience are s uitable to the internship requested.
A written project is required for completion of the internship experience.
It is meant to integrate your academic experience abroad with your work
activities. Your final grade for the internship includes a grade for the
written project and a grade for a n oral defense of your research.
Please answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper.
1. Describe in general the kind of field work you would like to undertake.
Is there any type of specialized work or experience that you would like
to have included as part of your internship? Do you have any specific topics
in mind? What kind of daily res ponsibilities would you like to have?
2. Summarize your academic background and any experience you have that
is relevant to your internship request.
3. What are your education and career objectives and what education
or career-directed benefits do you hope to gain from this internship?
4. If possible, please provide a general idea for the written project
you would like to undertake.
5. Has your home college imposed any particular conditions or requirements
(e.g. length, format) for your written project? If yes, please explain.
TO BE COMPLETED BY THE HOME UNIVERSITY MAJOR ADVISOR:
I hereby approve the nature of the requested internship.
It is consistent with the academic policy of this institution to consider
the transfer of the internship credit toward the satisfaction of this student's
degree requirements.
