Internship - 6 credits

  • 20 hours/week for 15 weeks total 300 hours.
 
As an intern, you’ll have the chance to apply what you learn and create your own approach to peacebuilding through a hands-on project with a community-based organization, government agency or business.  You’ll interact with a wide range of practitioners and get their perspective on implementing change.  A weekly internship seminar accompanies the internship and provides professional development experiences, guided reflection on individual and organizational roles in social change, and an introduction to the practitioner/scholar model.
