University
and Community Service
All
majors are encouraged to enroll in an internship course. The purpose of
the internship is to provide students with the opportunity to acquire specific
skills working in an organization, clarify their career goals, integrate
experiential learning with academic and theoretical knowledge, and learn
about civic engagement and citizenship.
The
discipline of sociology, through its methodology and substantive and theoretical
knowledge, provides sociology faculty and students with the expertise to
participate as consultants, researchers, and volunteers in a variety of
community- and campus based-organizations.
