School of Liberal Arts Internships
Thinking about an Internship?
Internships for Academic Credit: Internships for academic credit in the School of Liberal Arts are administered primarily by departments. Those placements that are not covered by departmental areas are offered under ATDV 480 Internship in Liberal Arts, and are administered by the dean. The dean may approve any faculty member in the School to oversee an internship. Information on non-credit internships can be found at the Career Center. All internships for credit require 40 hours of on-site work per academic credit. Learning outcomes are defined by the student when s/he applies for the internship through a faculty advisor or course instructor. The internship assignment includes a final paper in which the student addresses the degree to which the goals of the internship were met. Students receive a letter grade for the internship. Student qualifications vary by department (see Catalogue) but generally require at least Junior standing, a B+ or better grade point average, and permission of the instructor. In some departments, one faculty member coordinates all internships as part of the course load; in others, individual faculty members supervise a small number of students. Departmental internships are offered in American Studies, Creative Arts, English, History, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, and Sociology. Internships are embedded in the required course work in Education and Social Work. Internships are not offered in Modern Languages and Classics or Philosophy.
