Internships are an essential part of the Human Rights and History minor. Students seeking an internship may find one that suits their interests by searching online, in Handshake, or through advising.

For guidance in searching for your preferred internship, reach out to Amen Onuoha, Assistant Director for Liberal Arts Career Education in the Career Center. She can help with Handshake, cover letters, resumes, among other internship- and job-search issues.
