Mission
Each year a special group of outstanding undergraduate and graduate students are selected to participate in the FBI Middle Eastern Foreign Language Honors Internship Program in Washington, DC. This dynamic program offers students an ‘insider's view’ of FBI operations and provides them a chance to explore the many career opportunities with the Bureau, utilizing their individuality and unique critical skills. At the same time, the program is designed to enhance the FBI's visibility and recruitment efforts at colleges and universities throughout the United States.
