Overview of Internship
Before you graduate, you will have the opportunity to spend a semester in a human services organization as an intern. Below are some answers to questions and some forms and materials to prepare you for your internship.
Who?
All human services majors are required to complete a one-semester internship
What?
An opportunity for a practical learning experience in a human services organization combined with a concurrent weekly seminar and reading
When?
- Recommended for students who are 2nd semester juniors or 1st semester seniors
- Planning for internship is done the previous semester with the Internship Coordinator
How?
The human services internship coordinator works with students to identify high-quality internship placements that match students’ interests and career goals.
How is an internship different from co-op?
- Internship is unpaid
- Internship (field experience and seminar) count for one course (6SH)
- Students are on campus and take additional courses
- Internship emphasizes students’ learning goals
Student Application: Placement Planning Form
This must be submitted to the Internship Coordinator the semester before you wish to intern.

"My summer in Washington DC was everything I had hoped for and better than I could have ever imagined. My professors challenged me to think critically about issues of Democracy, ethics, and non-profit management. My internship at Share Our Strength allowed me to work independently, learn new skills, and develop a product that I can be proud of. Above all else, the people I met this summer were outstanding�I made new friends and met students from around the world. I left Washington with a new perspective on government and a new respect for myself and my abilities. This summer truly changed my life!"
