InternshipsInternships give students the opportunity to work and conduct studies in community agencies, government bureaus, or anthropological field schools. Acting under the supervision of the Internship Coordinator students earn course credit as they apply concepts and research skills learned in the classroom to specific outside settings. Internships are most appropriate for juniors and seniors who have completed several upper-division courses in their major and who have developed sufficient foundations in theory and concepts which they can relate to specific field assignments. Ordinarily, students should do this in their junior year and lower-division students are not eligible for an Internship. A student may use two Internship courses to satisfy upper-division elective credit in the major. While all anthropology majors must complete an internship experience, the screening and approval of the student's chosen internship is done by the Internship Coordinator, who takes into account both the type of internship sought and the student's qualities such as maturity, responsibility, dependability, and seriousness. Students must also have a B- (2.7) grade point average or higher in courses in their major. Internship Deadlines:1) All internships must be approved by 1 May for enrollment in ANTH 198 during the fall quarter (September). Internship Requirements:1) A minimum of 10 hours of work per week in an internship setting that is off-campus, including field schools, 2) Maintaining a systematic journal of activities and experiences (i.e., fieldnotes) that are due every two weeks to the internship coordinator, 3) Weekly meetings (in person or through email) with the internship coordinator, 4) A paper (to be completed in ANTH 198, Fall Quarter), and 5) Enrollment in the Internship Course (ANTH 198, Fall Quarter).
