Internship

This course enables students to gain practical and professional experience by working in a variety of organizations and institutions that cater to Middle Easterners, such as social justice/human rights agencies, ecumenical associations, charitable and educational foundations, business and media. The main objectives of the internship are to offer the student an opportunity to apply principles learned in the classroom and outside. An internship should provide the student with hands-on experience and a good sense of what an actual job in the organization will be like. The student should be able to relate the internship experience to the knowledge that he or she has gained through the Master's program in Middle Eastern Studies. For this three-credit course, placements should involve between 12 and 15 hours per week (a minimum of 150 hours per semester). Consultation with the Director of the MA-MES program is required before accepting an internship position.
