Internships
Education internships
Students interested in education can participate in school-based internships or internships that introduce them to the policy/administrative aspects of education. In recent years, students have conducted internships in curricular reform, after-school programs, drop-out prevention, museum education, and place-based pedagogy. If you are interested in an education-focused internship, you should contact either an education department faculty member or someone in the Career Development Office to discuss your ideas.
