Arranging an Internship

The semester before you plan to do an internship do the following:

  1. Go to Career Services and look at their file of possible sites.
  2. Look at the Internship folder in the Anthro/Soc/Psych reading room. These are summaries written by psychology majors describing their internships.
  3. Set up a meeting with Dr. Walton (or the internship faculty supervisor) once you have selected a few internships you might want to apply for. Dr Walton will only approve your internship if you have taken courses relevant to the work you will do on site.
  4. Once Dr Walton has approved you for several potential internships, the people at Career Services will help you make an application and set up interviews with people at the sites. Once you have established an internship site, you will work with Dr. Walton and your on-site supervisor to design a project and to prepare a contract.
