79-505 Undergraduate Internship: History
3–9 units, Carnegie Mellon University
The History program strongly encourages students to locate internship opportunities in Pittsburgh or elsewhere that complement their historical interests (as, for example, in a museum or historical society) or areas of policy research that link closely with their historical interests (as, for example, in a government agency or non-profit organization). To earn academic credit for their internship, students will be required to maintain a weekly journal; write a short critical reflection on how the internship connects to their academic interests; and share their experience with other History majors. The History/STS Academic Advisor and/or the Academic Program Manager will assist students with matching their interests to local organizations. History students can earn up to 9 units in each internship. Up to 9 history internship units may count toward fulfillment of the elective course requirements for either History (major and minor) and Science, Technology & Society (major and minor). Prerequisite: Students must be an History/STS major or minor and obtain permission for the proposed internship from the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
