Internships
Why an internship?
Any present or past work experience can be the basis of an internship. Many experiences can count such as formal internship opportunities, but also paid or unpaid employment. The main goal is to apply sociological concepts and analysis to a real-life job or other responsibility. To earn credit, the student and Internship Coordinator decide on terms cooperatively, deciding how to document and analyze your experience. Here are some examples of internship outcomes:
- Hands-on experience for future career
