Internship in History

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. 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 field experience 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, and only one can be counted towards fulfillment of the History major.
