Sociology Internship

Students will participate in a supervised off-campus internship which is guided by a full-time professor within the Sociology-Anthropology Department at Manhattanville. The goal of this experience is to integrate and apply knowledge and theory learned in the classroom in a professional workplace setting.

Students are responsible for securing an internship prior to registering this course. The Center for Career Development (CCD) assists students as they identify and apply for internship opportunities. Students wishing to earn credit for an internship register SOC 4497 Internship under a Faculty Internship Advisor in the department. During the course they complete academic assignments, consult with the CCD, consult with their professor, evaluate their experience, and receive an evaluation of their performance from their internship supervisor. At the end of the course, the Faculty Internship Advisor provides a grade.

The CCD administers Internship course registration. Students must contact the CCD to initiate the process. Students may register Internship courses for 1-3 credits and as letter grade or pass/fail, with some restrictions (see Major/Minor Credit).

Major Credit: One SOC 4497 Internship course can count as a Department major elective. Internship courses counted toward the major must be registered as 3-credit Letter Graded courses.

Prerequisites: Minimum 30 credits of coursework completed, and a major in Sociology-Anthropology declared.
