The following are requirements for students applying for consideration of academic credit:

Course Seminar Experience

Students seeking to undergo their internship experience with a companion career literacy course may do so by seeking out a position within our expansive and vetted pool of internship partners trhough this Handshake link. Students who are offered an internship position through our pre-approved partners will then automatically be enrolled in ANTH 4920 Internship in Anthropology with Professor Nelson for 3 credit hours. This course and the internship experience will occur simultaneously throughout the span of the Spring semester. (NB! Homework Hotline interns will be mentored by Dr. Nuñez-Janes). Note that internship applications must be submitted and approved PRIOR to the Spring semester's internship experience.

Independent Experience

Students interested in seeking an independent internship experience during Fall or Summer semesters are responsible for securing their own internship organization outside of our partner pool as well as an anthropology faculty mentor. Once both the internship organization and the faculty mentor are confirmed, it is the responsibility of the student to reach out to the Department of Anthropology (email) for assistance with credit enrollment in tune with the following deadlines:

Fall semester interns: July 15

Summer semester interns: April 15
