STEPS TOWARDS AN INTERNSHIP

Step 1

Pick a faculty advisor; The faculty supervisor may have prior contacts or can guide the student in the appropriate direction. However, it is the student’s responsibility to actually arrange the internship.

Step 2

Locate an organization appropriate to your interests: This is an important opportunity to learn something new and to obtain valuable work experience. Some internships are paid, such as those at New South Associates (a local CRM archeology firm). Call up or write to the organizations that best suit your interests, and ask whether they are accepting interns for the following semester. Although you may not find your first choice, you may discover clever ways to be flexible.

Step 3

1. Download the internship application or pick one up at the Department of Anthropology the semester before you wish to begin.
2. Obtain the signatures of the faculty advisor and field supervisor.
3. Turn in the completed application to the Administrative Coordinator in the Department of Anthropology and then wait for an email confirmation that the form has been processed.
4. Register online for ANTH 8910, Graduate Anthropology Internship.

Step 4

Conduct the internship. A faculty advisor meets with the student intern on a weekly basis, and at the end of the semester, the student is required to write a paper describing what was learned during the internship, and how the internship facilitated their career development. Specific requirements may additionally be requested by individual faculty.
