Internships are an ideal way to facilitate the transition from student to professional. Student interns develop their skills in applying academic course learning to applied professional work settings. Our Department provides internships at the undergraduate and graduate levels for the sociology and gerontology programs. Students earning a certificate in Nonprofit Leadership may take their NPL Internship from any of several cooperating programs including sociology. See the NPL information page for more details.
To get started, review the syllabus, internship application and learning contract materials listed below. Review the Field Placement Sites where previous students have enjoyed good, productive internships. Think about the types of placements best for you and your professional goals. Complete the Internship Application and make an appointment to review it with the Faculty Internship Coordinator. Allow sufficient time for planning your internship, preferably a couple of months before you plan to register for the course. Some internships, such as those with government agencies, take longer to arrange.
