Internship opportunities<\/h1>\n

An internship is an excellent way to put historical theory into practice and to develop professional skills in historical research, preservation, and teaching. Students gain valuable experience for graduate school, teaching, and a variety of employment possibilities. Members of the History Department faculty encourage students to make an internship a part of their major or minor studies in History.<\/p>\n

Students should contact a faculty adviser in the History Department to begin the process of setting up an internship.<\/strong><\/p>\n
