Experiential Learning
Internships
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers students the opportunity to engage in internships in service, research, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ and work/corporate settings. These internships enhance students’ knowledge of sociology and/or anthropology in two ways. First, internships are opportunities for students to apply their knowledge to real-life settings in service to the community, academic research, ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ or in profit-oriented occupational settings, thus furthering their skills in applying their knowledge in practical ways. Second, internships allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the sociological and anthropological concepts, theories and ideas which underlie these disciplines.

Many Sociology and Anthropology majors opt to study abroad, either for a full semester or for a winter term travel course. Our majors have studied in Copenhagen, Sorrento, London, Florence, Peru, and more. Anthropology majors interested in archaeology may also participate in the summer archaeology field school in Belize.
