Independent Projects and Internships

Students of the program have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty member to get hands-on experience through research, special projects, or internships. 

About Projects and Internships

Many student projects and internships are integrated with the student's major interests. 

Students can earn academic credit for these experiences by signing up for WGS 495 (Independent Project), WGS 499 (Independent Research), or WGS 488 (Internship).

For more information: Contact a WGS faculty member in your academic field.
