Internships Many students in Sociology undertake internships. Students who are interested in social policy often test that interest with an internship in a social agency. This experience is often helpful in finding a job after graduation, sometimes at the very same agency where contacts have been established. Students in the Criminal Justice concentration are required to do one internship, and many choose to do a second in another part of the criminal justice network. Social Policy concentrators also are required to undertake an internship.
Internships are a very positive experience for students.
