Internships

The Interdisciplinary majors in Health and Human Services, Environmental Studies and Legal Studies offer opportunities to incorporate Internship experiences into the Undergraduate major. Internships offer students the opportunity to experience a community placement in the Buffalo area where the topics they have studied or the skills they have developed are expressed in a real life setting. Internships are senior level opportunities. Many graduates have found these experiences extremely beneficial as a way of gaining practical experience and exposure to the world of work.

Here are some comments from selected students:

            "Being a part of the Interdisciplinary degree program at UB has really given me the ability to personalize my learning experience and independently grow as a student.  If you are looking for a degree that offers flexibility and freedom, I would highly recommend this curriculum."

            "I absolutely loved working in a school. It influenced my choice to apply to grad school for Elementary Education."

            "I've become more patient, accessible to the needs of children, open minded and more aware of what I really want to do and that is to work with children."

            "I enjoyed every part of my internship at Roswell, even the challenges. It has been a priceless experience to see how a professional social work team operates, and in developing myself as a future professional."

             "My experience at Crisis Services made me completely sure, if I wasn't before, that a career in the human services field is what's right for me."

             "I feel that I am constantly learning new things at my internship, and I can honestly say that it was the single best thing for my college career.  I have learned so much about a field that I thought I had absolutely no interest in, and now I think I have chosen a career path that I would have never found had I not done this."
