Internship

Engaged Learning

This class satisfies the Engaged Learning requirement in the Internship category. Internships allow students to earn three course credits while gaining valuable professional experience in public and private institutions engaged in history-related projects. Internship possibilities include historical associations and societies; oral history projects; museums and halls of fame; entrepreneurial history firms; genealogical services; preservation agencies; and archives and libraries. Interns work for a minimum of five hours per week in an internship position jointly agreed upon by the student and the internship director. Interns are also required to attend seminar meetings, keep a weekly blog or vlog, and write a paper related to the internship experience. Students need the permission of the internship coordinator in order to register. Students will complete the undergraduate engaged learning requirement. All students are required to document their internship site information in LOCUS. Loyola needs this information to verify student completion of the engaged learning requirement and for data purposes. Applications for the program are available on the web at http://www.luc.edu/history/internships.shtml. Permission from instructor required. Contact Dr. Brad Hunt at dhunt1@luc.edu for information.
