These internships offer credit to undergraduate history majors at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. The General Internship program primarily includes internships in the fields of law, politics, and government. In addition, it includes other internships that do not meet the criteria for the Public History Internship Program. Enrollment is limited.
Internships require interviews with both the coordinator and the site supervisor.
Approval by the hosting agency, as well as approval by the History Department, is required before an internship can be started. It is recommended that students bring a resume to the site interview. All interns also will be visited on site by the coordinator or assistant coordinator during the course of their internship. The exact nature of the report required will be determined by the form of the internship, and should be clearly worked out with the coordinator at the beginning of the semester. Students may take the General Internship course once.
