Internships
The Women's and Gender Studies Internship (WGS 4013) is designed to provide students an opportunity to relate their academic experience to women's and gender issues in the community by working in an community or nonprofit organization. The internship will run parallel to an academic semester, and students are required to complete a minimum 135 hours over the course of the semester.
Site Selection
Students are required to find their own agency or organization. For ideas, please see our list of previous internship sites below. Students are responsible for applying for and securing the internship before the semester begins. It is expected that the internship will give the student a good overall perspective on the work the organization does as well as give the student specific tasks in appropriate areas of the organization.
