Upper-level labor studies majors are encouraged to do internships.
They may be arranged by the student, an individual faculty member, or
through the department. Typically internships earn 3 credits. To have
an internship approved, a student must submit a description to his or
her faculty advisor or to the director of the undergraduate program.
Approval will be contingent on the suitability of the internship and
whether the student has maintained an acceptable academic record in
labor studies courses. To receive credit for an internship, students
must meet internship requirements. The general rule is that 8 to 10
hours per week are required for the 3 course credits. Credits for
internships may not exceed 6. Students should also check the
limitations of their individual college for granting credits. Students
with labor studies minors may also receive credit for an internship,
provided these internships have significant labor content and the
student has already taken course work in labor studies. The student's
acceptable academic performance is prerequisite.
