 Students can participate in an internship by enrolling
for either Soc 398 or Soc 498, and they can earn up to a maximum of
8 units of elective credit for their sociology degree. To be approved
for an internship,
students should have completed at least three upper division courses
in sociology, arrange a work agreement with an approved agency, and
be willing to commit the equivalent of 30 hours of agency work for
each unit of credit they expect to receive. The intern must also meet
with the Department's Internship Coordinator during the quarter, and
submit a journal of activities and a short final paper illustrating
how sociological concepts gleaned from their sociology courses have
been applied to the work setting. A list of approved agencies, as
well as other program details, can be obtained from the Coordinator.
Announcements concerning some potential internships are also included
below. However, students should also feel free to arrange their
own internship placement.
For more information, please contact Dr.
Cristina Bodinger-deUriarte, Internship Coordinator.
