In some instances, the internship could provide the intern with an opportunity for future employment. Although students are free to find their own internships, the Department will work with students in accomplishing this task. Students should have completed subfield studies, preferably a core course, in the field in which the internship is to be undertaken.
Students are responsible for contacting a faculty member to sponsor the internship.
The sponsor s teaching or research interests should be in the area of the internship. T he internship may be taken in any semester, including the summer. However, it is suggested that planning and negotiations between the sponsor and the intern take place in the semester preceding the one in which the project will be undertaken. All interns will be required to submit a written paper treating some aspect of the internship experience. Examples of previous papers submitted include a literature review, a well-kept log of the internship experience, or a research project.
