The History department offers HIST387, \u201cInternship in History.\u201d This course enables history majors to earn a maximum of three credit hours for a faculty-supervised internship directly related to history or the collection and preservation of historical materials. The course combines practical work with supervised, independent academic study.<\/p>\n
Typically, an internship will involve work at a local archive, library, museum, historical site, or other appropriate organization. The purpose of the internship is to provide students with field experience working with historical materials. The student must devise a program of internship work in consultation with a faculty sponsor and a representative of the host organization. The student will prepare and present interim reports as well as a substantive final report as requested. Internship projects are subject to approval by the faculty sponsor. Only one internship can be counted towards fulfillment of the History major.\u00a0Internships deadlines vary, but students should seek out and apply for suitable internships at least a semester in advance. The following organizations offer history-related opportunities.<\/p>\n
