Electives
WGS courses may include but are not limited to the following:
Women's and Gender Studies Internship
Students may choose to participate in a supervised off-campus internship guided by a full-time professor within the Women's and Gender Studies Program at Manhattanville. The goal of this experience is for students to integrate and apply perspectives they have learned in their WGS courses to a professional workplace setting.
Students are responsible for securing an internship prior to registering for this course. The Center for Career Development (CCD) assists students as they identify and apply for internship opportunities. Students wishing to earn credit for an internship register for WGS 4497 under a Faculty Internship Advisor in the Program. During the course, students will complete academic assignments, consult with the CCD, evaluate their experience, and receive an assessment of their performance from their internship supervisor. At the end of the course, the Faculty Internship Advisor evaluates the student performance and assigns a grade.
The CCD administers Internship course registration. Students must contact CCD to initiate the process. Students may register Internship courses for 1-3 credits and as letter grade or pass/fail, with some restrictions. Only one WGS Internship course may count as a minor elective.
