An "Internship Agreement" form must be submitted to the Department Chair. Forms are available in the History Department office, Room 256 Upham.

Also, the student must deliver a letter in which the host entity supervisor agrees to manage the internship, explains the intern's responsibilities, and agrees to submit a letter of evaluation of the internship to the faculty sponsor at the completion of the experience.

Students must be enrolled in the internship course at the same time as they are completing the internship (for example, one may not sign up for internship credit in the Fall term for an internship completed over the summer). Please remember that the university will bill you for any credit hours for which you enroll, including internship hours in the summer, at the prevailing rate.

By the completion of the internship activity, the student must have presented to the supervising faculty member an essay (or its agreed-upon equivalent) of a length and sophistication commensurate with the work done during the internship and the number of HST 340 hours taken (normally a "term paper" of about 20 pages is considered suitable for 3 credit hours). This document should analyze and reflect upon the lessons learned during and from the experience, and be of appropriate academic rigor.

Also, the student must submit a statement from the supervising entity describing the intern's performance. Both documents must be acceptable to the supervising faculty member before credit is granted.

To assist students contemplating an internship, the director of Undergraduate Studies will maintain an open file of proposals and written work produced during completed internships.

Any student interested in taking HST 340 Internship should contact the History Lead Departmental Advisor, Helen Sheumaker, for more information.
