Internships

Students enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Studies Program may register each semester for 3-credit internships as part of their regular coursework. Placement is available in more than 40 organizations specializing in legal services, criminal justice, social service, and tutoring and counseling programs. Requirements include 7 to 8 hours of fieldwork each week, as well as preliminary and final papers and meetings with instructors. The Interdisciplinary Studies Program is also host to the highly selective John Jay Vera Institute Fellowship Program, which includes a two-semester paid internship at one of the agencies sponsored by the Vera Institute for Justice and a six-credit academic seminar. Applications are due each March.
