In addition to these, students may also establish other internships in local museums, historical sites, commissions and archives after consultation with the academic advisor. Students must have a minimum of 36 credits and a QPA of 3.0 to be considered for a History internship. The first step is to see the Undergraduate Advisor in the History department to discuss the possibilities. Interested students must plan ahead as the internships are competitive and the process must begin at least a month ahead of registration for the following term.
Internships are available for fall and spring terms.
A committment of a minimum of 10 hours per week at the site of work. Regular meetings with your supervisor in the History Department Professional journal documenting your academic and professional experience submitted by the student upon completion.
