Most History students spend a semester interning at local government offices, law firms, high schools, historic sites, archives, and museums. Students are placed by the department after consultation with the director of internships. Many students intern at the expansive Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum just two miles away in Hyde Park. These internships range from 3 credits to full semester experiences, with paid summer internships available.
Internships offer students an immeasurable leraning experience, as well as the opportunity to use the skills they have been developing in the classroom to prepare for future careers.
