SOCIOLOGY INTERNSHIPS

Sociology Internship Information

The Sociology internship serves to expose you to real world experiences that allow you to apply your major in a field of your choice. An internship provides out-of-the-classroom experience and provides an edge for you during your job search after graduation. The internship (SOC487) is worth three credits while the Internship Seminar (SOC492) is worth one credit. Through the seminar and the internship experience you have an opportunity to review your major while beginning the transition to the work force.
