Graduate students in Sociology may enroll in an Internship course (SOC 498). You can receive graduate credit interning at organizations in applied areas of Sociology - such as child and youth services, health and welfare agencies, criminal and juvenile justice departments and other types of social service agencies as well as commercial organizations. Interns spend the quarter working at the organization of choice, usually a minimum of ten hours per week.
Planning is required in advance of the quarter during which the Internship is conducted. In order to receive university credit for the internship, you must contact:
