Multidisciplinary Internship Program
Make a difference before you graduate — become an intern. This opportunity is available to students majoring in anthropology, criminology and law studies, sociology, and social welfare and justice.
Pre-MSW and victim services concentrations include one- and two-semester internships at shelters for victims of domestic abuse, Hunger Task Force, social services agencies and government offices.
For budding sociologists, Milwaukee is an excellent environment, providing you a wealth of opportunities to put your major into action with social agencies throughout the city.
Criminology majors are offered a competitive internship program that provides opportunities for experiences in Milwaukee-area law enforcement agencies, correctional settings, court offices and legal research bureaus.
Anthropology majors can join their professor on archaeology digs right here in Wisconsin. You'll help excavate burial groups in a manner respectful of the society's culture.
