Apply for Internship Credit (SOC 396)

You can earn 1 credit per internship for relevant experiences paired with thoughtful sociological inquiry. The credit is earned not necessarily by the time spent in the internship setting, but by crafting an academic essay connecting a significant experience “in the field” to coursework within the department.

SOC 396 is graded as credit/no credit (CR/NC). The course may be repeated for a second credit hour but only if the internships are in different settings.

Regular credit exclusions and limitations apply for the Sociology major, LJSC minor, and SHM minor (limit of experiential credit). SOC 396 will count as elective credit toward the Sociology major but will need to be requested and approved for the LJSC, SHM, and SSW minors/subplans.
