Internships

Our program offers internships for sociology majors. These internships provide a unique experience that enables students to apply sociological concepts and theories outside of the classroom. Students can explore potential careers, learn new skills and make responsible decisions in a real world setting. It is through the experience of internships that many students determine which aspects of sociology interest them the most and what kind of career they ultimately want to pursue.

Under the supervision of a sociology faculty member, an internship setting that will give the student a chance to learn about an organization’s goals, its policies and problem solving techniques is selected. Many community organizations and agencies are eager to provide internships to our students. Although most of these internships are unpaid, they often open the doors to good jobs and will enrich students’ resumes, whether they apply to graduate school or enter directly into a professional career.

Sociology majors, as well as students majoring in the Administration of Criminal Justice who secure internship placements through our department, have worked at a variety of organizations here in the Peoria area and in their hometowns. Last year, we placed interns at the following local organizations and agencies.
