The Women's Studies  Internship Program at Syracuse University
The Women's Studies Program encourages our students to participate in an internship with a local community-based organization during one semester of your study as an undergraduate at SU. We now have four community agencies that have made arrangements with us to place interns:
- Vera House
- Spanish Action League
- CNY Labor Federation
- Syracuse Workforce Development Center
Doing an internship can significantly enhance your educational experience here in the following ways: (1) By bringing the theoretical and analytical work that you do in the classroom into contact with practical realities outside of the classroom, providing a test of the theory's adequacy, comprehensiveness, and relevance; (2) By bringing your energy and education and skills out to the community, to provide critical resources needed in the Syracuse area; (3) By expanding the scope and formulation of questions you might consider important to pursue in your academic and professional life; (4) By preparing you for future careers in fields that can build on your knowledge of Women's Studies.
Doing an internship will earn you 3 credit hours toward your degree. It will also allow you to pursue specific interests and develop your understanding by writing the final paper for the internship.
