Internships (also known as field studies, volunteer experiences and co-ops) are meaningful, career-related work experiences that allow students to apply academic knowledge to the world of work. They are critical for job placement after graduation.

There are numerous internship opportunities available through UCSC departments, units and programs. Some internships are for academic credit; others are paid positions. However, they all have the common goal of providing career-related work experience.

General Academic Internships

Most departments offer students the opportunity to complete an internship for academic credit. A few departments, for example, Economics, Psychology and Environmental Studies actually have a field studies program coordinator. Other departments offer an upper-division course, normally 198 - Independent Field Studies, which is sponsored by a faculty member from that department. Often the Field Study internship may count as upper-division elective credit towards the major.

Each department has its own application process, however, most require a petition form and sponsorship by a faculty member. Students interested in this type of internship should contact the field studies program coordinator or the undergraduate advisor.
