WSt 410: Internships

The Internship in Women's Studies is an opportunity for students to continue learning in practical work situations and academic workshops. In your internship, you will apply academic theory to a work situation in your field of interest. You will design and follow a learning plan, analyze power structures in organizations, consider leadership models, and explore how and why societal change is accomplished. Additionally, you will learn and practice skills in multicultural communication, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and strategizing for change.

The internship is a variable credit course for 1-12 credit hours. Placements are made following consultation with the internship coordinator. It is highly recommended that students initiate consultations well before the internship semester.

Women's Studies interns work in a wide range of fields and positions. In addition, interns often design their own internship to insure work that will provide the experience the student is seeking.
