Internships
Students from the School of Arts and Humanities participate in a wide variety of internships throughout the Midwest region, and the United States. International opportunities have also been available in France, Japan, and Australia. For-credit internships can be arranged with the School of Arts and Humanities or through the Wayne State Co-op Education Office. Students should contact their academic advisor for information about internship requirements. Although advisors and the Co-op Education staff can help students locate potential internship sites, the most valuable experiences often result from students' own initiatives at finding opportunities that best complement their academic and professional goals.
