Internships are a great way to gain work experience in your field of interest before you graduate. Internships within the Anthropology Department (ANTH 700, 1-4 credits) are supervised by a faculty member and are developed mutually between a student and faculty.
ANTH700 provides students with supervised practical experience in anthropology, including: professional or community support work within an academic or applied anthropology setting; teaching; museum work; archaeological laboratory or fieldwork; research on a faculty research project; or editorial work on a journal or faculty book project.
Students should have previously taken at least one with their supervising faculty, and unless the faculty member has a grant or an external funding partner, ANTH700 internships for credit that are primarily directly by faculty are not paid. Contact hours and work schedule vary according to faculty and student need.To further support their research and supplies related to ANTH700 internships, students should seek out opportunities from the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research.
Students are also encouraged to meet with UNH Career and Professional Success (CaPS) to explore paid, pre-professional internships with organizations outside of UNH, such as local businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies. Additionally, students should contact a faculty member to discuss the possibility of receiving academic credit or secondary supervision for an internship they find with CaPS.
UNH uses two online services, Handshake and myWildcatSuccess, to post internship opportunities.
