Internships: Getting Started
Finding an internship is like finding a job. Each student is responsible for researching opportunities,
applying, interviewing, and following up with potential employers. Be creative. While many organizations regularly use interns and have a formal application process, just about any organization would
be pleased to have an intern if you approach them
with a proposal. Think about the experience you
want to gain and brainstorm possibilities from there.
An internship can be a gateway to a future job.
Consider organizations that you hope to one day be
a part of or plan to apply to work for after graduation. Research their internship opportunities. If
you are interested in an organization that has not
hired interns previously, consider proposing your
ideas to them. An organization might be unable
to pay an intern but be very willing to welcome
an enthusiastic worker desiring to make a contribution and gain experience for academic credit.

Additional Resources
There are many resources that can provide current listings of available internships for which you
might apply. Some of these resources are listed below:
‡ S-CAR Community Network and Forum

The S-CAR undergraduate and graduate advisors and
Mason’s Office of Career Services are good resources for
information regarding internships; however, each student
is responsible for finding and applying for his/her own internship just as they would any other job placement.
Keep in mind that many internships are quite competitive
and have extensive application time tables (e.g. Government agencies such as the U.S. State Dept have application
processes that can take up to a full year before the start
date.)
Think about the following as you search for possible opportunities:
‡ What skills do you have to offer an organization?
‡ Can you tie learning objectives related to the field of
Conflict Analysis and Resolution to this internship
experience?
‡ How many hours a week can you be available? Will
they be consistent?
‡ Will transportation limit where you can apply?
‡ When will you need to start and finish in order to
fulfill the minimum 45 hours per credit hour requirement?
‡ Are there specific organizations that would provide
experience in a particular career direction that you
would like to explore more extensively?
