Experiential learning is a vital part of our University's mission and an active internship program is one of the many ways the Sociology and Criminology department lives this commitment.听Our students have completed internships in over 80 nonprofit and governmental agencies throughout the Cleveland metropolitan area. Internships are valuable, as they help students gain professional experience, while applying the knowledge and abilities learned in the classroom. While optional for our majors, all students choosing to complete a department concentration are required to complete a 3 credit internship.听

Students can register for department credit through course SC-4750 during either Fall, Spring or Summer semesters.听Students should work with department faculty and Career Services to be matched to an internship site based on their career interests. Participation in an internship generally requires a 2.75 GPA. If an internship that meets the department鈥檚 internship requirements is done during the summer for 0 credits (CE-1199), students can petition to take an additional 3000/4000 level course instead of completing a second internship.

See below for detailed instructions on registering for your internship.
