Humanities Internships

For those in the humanities, consider adding an internship to your department’s major(s). According to the 2014 Hannover Research report “Trends in Undergraduate Education in the Humanities” (pp. 12-13), the most heavily weighted factor for a graduate’s employability is participation in an internship. It ranks higher in importance than a graduate’s major, extracurricular activities, coursework, GPA, and college reputation.
