Humanities Internship Program

The UCI School of Humanities Internship Program brings together Humanities majors with private and public sector businesses and non-profit agencies in Orange County looking for employees who have excellent writing and communication skills. Employers  who are participating in the program believe that your education in critical thinking, writing, communication, and analysis equips you to be a successful employee in their firms.
The internships begin in the summer and continue for the fullHumanities Intern academic year. Interns work 10-15 hours a week for a minimum hourly salary of $12.  Because employers offer the interns management-level supervisors,  student interns have substantial work responsibilities and are involved in  meaningful aspects of the firm's ongoing business.  The internship relationship can become the basis for long-term employment with the firm.

Interns will also participate in quarterly meetings at UCI with the program coordinator and the other interns to discuss their work experiences and benefit from one another's insights.  At the end of each quarter, the intern will provide an assessment of their experience for the program coordinator.  The program coordinator will also conduct on-site visits with the interns and their supervisors.

The program is open to declared School of Humanities majors who are in good academic standing and who will have completed the Humanities Core Course (or the Core Course substitution) by the end of spring quarter. Students must be enrolled full time for the duration of the internship. Click here for program requirements.
Applications are available on-line, or in the Humanities Undergraduate Study Office, in mid  Winter Quarter.  The application deadline is in early April.
