Why Do an Anthropology Internship?

  • It's a 300-level class that satisfies your major requirements.
  • It's a chance to try out a job you're interested in.
  • It's a chance to expand your network, always good for finding a job and getting into graduate school.
  • It's a way to secure a reference for a future job or for graduate school.
  • It's an opportunity to apply what you have learned in the classroom to a work place setting; a chance to link theories, concepts and ideas to concrete situations.
  • It's a chance to provide service to the community.
  • "They're cool!", says Dr. Maureen Hays, previous chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology.
