History Internships
The History Department is happy to offer our
majors the opportunity to earn course credit while working in area
historical societies, museums and other history-related venues or
projects. Majors may enroll in History 522, a 3-credit course, and
pursue an internship in public history or archival work.
Internships in history offer our qualified majors
the opportunity to earn course credit while gaining experience in
public history. Our History interns have worked at the U.S.S. Constitution
Museum, the Massachusetts Historical Society, the African Meeting
House and at MYTOWN (Multicultural Youth Tours of What’s Now), learning
how museums and historical societies work, and learning about the
kinds of positions that are available for history majors.
The typical internship involves 10 to 12 hours
of work each week over the course of the semester, regular meetings
with , and the completion of additional
appropriate coursework (short papers related to the internship experience).
While the students will be under the direct supervision of the institution
offering internship opportunities, Professor Allison will also monitor
their performance and assign a grade. Interested majors should contact
Professor Allison (573-8510; ballison@acad.suffolk.edu)
for more information on internships in history.
