Students also have opportunities to serve as interns for UN agencies, national missions, or non-governmental organizations. That seminar, a research paper, and two courses taken at Drew University combine to produce four Wooster credits. This internship is under the sponsorship of Hope College and is offered to students at Wooster as well as the other colleges which are members of the Great Lakes Colleges Association. Students who attend the Philadelphia Center work four days a week with professionals in well-supervised placements in agencies, community groups, corporations and institutions. Students have an opportunity to experience Philadelphia as a testing ground for concepts and principles learned in their liberal arts education on the campus.
Placements are complementary to all academic disciplines and majors.
A maximum of four credits may be earned by students who participate. See Alphine Jefferson, Department of History and Charlotte Wahl, Coordinator of the Urban Semester , for more information on prerequisites and course credits.
