Internship: 1-4 sh

All students will be required to complete an internship after their Introduction to Poverty Studies course and before they complete their capstone. This internship can be fulfilled in the following ways:

Option A: Summer internship through Shepherd Consortium (1 semester hour)

Students who complete a Shepherd summer internship will satisfy the internship requirement for the PSJ minor. Students interested in taking a Shepherd Consortium Internship should meet with the PSJ coordinator.

Option B: Semester internship/practicum (required for major/approved for PSJ)

Students in majors where there is a required internship or practicum (e.g. communications, education, human service studies) may use their existing required internship to fulfill this requirement. Students must select internship sites that are approved for the PSJ minor in order for these to count toward the minor.

Option C: PSJ 481 – Poverty and Social Justice semester internship (1-4 semester hours)

Students may elect to take between 1-4 hours of internship credit during the fall, winter, or spring semester in sites that are approved for the PSJ minor.
