Why Should I do an Internship?

Sociology and Gerontology

  • It's an opportunity to apply what you have learned in the classroom to a work place setting; a chance to link theories, concepts and ideas to concrete situations.
  • It’s an opportunity  to apply the sociological perspective in a work place setting just as we hope you will after graduation.
  • It's a chance to try out a field you're interested in.  It’s a real life laboratory within a supportive environment.
  • It's a 300-level class that satisfies an elective in the sociology major.
  • It's a chance to expand your professional  network.
  • It's a chance to provide service to the community.
