Internships allow students to put their history skills to work, test out career options, gain valuable practical experience, and build relationships with professionals and organizations in their areas of interest. Internships often provide not only useful work experience, but also letters of recommendation, personal references, and sometimes even a job offer.
Students can receive course credit for internships only by enrolling in Hist 49800 with the consent of the undergraduate advisor before beginning the internship. Students can earn 1 credit for 3-4 hours of internship work per week over 15 weeks, 2 credits for 6-8 hours internship work per week over 15 weeks, or 3 credits for 10 hours per week over 15 weeks. Credits are Pass/No Credit. No credit may be given, retroactively, for internship work undertaken without being properly enrolled in advance.
