PHIL - 401. Internship in Philosophy

1-3 credit(s)
Internships in philosophy, which are open to all majors, can be taken as early as one’s sophomore year. Students will work with local organizations that stress philosophical components - such as environmental and social justice, aesthetic well-being, freedom and its limits, and questions relating philosophy to the sciences - in their mission or practice. Internships typically combine traditional academic work with onsite field experience to enable students to increase their understanding of and ability to implement theoretical notions and views. Interested students should submit an application to the department during the semester preceding the proposed placement; applicants will be screened and accepted based on academic record and readiness to function effectively in the field. For philosophy majors and minors, no more than 6 Internship credits may count towards satisfaction of the major or minor requirements; this course may be taken more than once with the permission of the Internship Supervisor.

Prerequisite(s): PHIL 101 or PHIL 103.
