Department of Sociology - Undergraduate Program Expanding Your Horizons Expanding Your Horizons Internships Sociology 299 is the Sociology Department's internship course. If a student finds an opportunity to participate in an internship program off-campus, the student and a faculty member can develop a program of study and research related to the internship. The student can then receive academic credit for participating in the internship. Permission to enroll in this course will depend on the professor and the student formally agreeing on course requirements and grading strategy. Consult a departmental advisor for details.
Some students are interested in special topics in sociology for which no course is currently taught.
One way to focus on a special topic is to take an independent study. To take an independent study, you must make arrangements with a professor who will supervise and grade your work for the semester. A good way to do this is to put together a brief proposal, and then stop by a professor's office hours. If you have an idea for a project, but don't know who would be a good professor to work with, stop in and talk to the advisors. The two independent study courses are Soc 290, Individual Study, and Soc 291, Honors Individual Study.
