Internship Opportunities
Internship Opportunities
The Department of Humanities, Cultural & Traditional Studies (HCS) offers an internship for Online-based, degree-seeking students declared as HUM (Humanities) majors and who have earned at least 12 credit hours of approved courses in the major prior to starting the internship. This internship consists of supervised work-and-learning experience in humanities and cultural issues under the direction of a University faculty member/administrator and an employee of a participating sponsor organization. The internship counts as a major elective. Specifically, it counts as a “concentration” course for HUM majors.
Students participating in the internship must enroll in the HUM 4940 - Internship in Humanities & Cultural Studies class (and, in some instances, AMS 4940 to make sure the credits equal 3). This class earns up to 3 semester hours of academic credit. Students report to the HCS Internship Coordinator weekly through formal status reports via web form. A final professional portfolio and final reflection paper are significant parts of this experience.
