Do an Internship for Sociology Credit
Professor Alice Fothergill's course SOC 286: Applied Sociology (designated as a service-learning course), allows students to participate in a service-learning partnership with King Street Youth Center. This is a group project in which students volunteer and conduct an evaluation of King Street Youth Center's programs. Alternatively, students can choose and arrange their own internships in a local non-profit for the spring semester. Students can be supervised independently through enrollment in this course. Generally, internships require ten hours a week of service in the agency site for three hours of course credit. Sociology requires a rigorous scholarly component as well, including bi-weekly meetings, a sociological literature review, and a final paper.
