How to Find
an Internship
The Urban Studies program traditionally finds local internships for seniors
as agencies contact us. Other methods for finding internships are to 1)
investigate if any of the job-listing sites discussed below under "Employment"
include any listings of internship opportunities, 2) to consult The Internship
Bible published by the Princeton Review, which lists over 100,000 opportunities,
or 3) to apply for a formal internship through one of the following internship
programs.
All Urban Studies students wishing to enroll in an internship must complete
the following forms and agree to follow the enclosed guidelines prior
to applying with any internship agency.
