Students seeking course credit with an approved Spring internship will be enrolled in the Spring semester's ANTH 4920 Internship in Anthropology course seminar with Professor Nelson for 3 credit hours (NB! Homework Hotline interns will be mentored by Dr. Nuñez-Janes). Note that internship applications must be approved PRIOR to the Spring semester.

Students seeking an approved independent internship experience in Fall or Summer semesters are responsible for securing an anthropology faculty mentor on their own and reaching out to the Department of Anthropology for assistance with credit enrollment by the following deadlines:
