Internships

Internships

The College of Arts and Humanities encourages students to complete an internship in their field of study before graduation. An internship provides an opportunity to connect academic work with practical experience while being supervised and mentored by a professional. These experiences help bridge the transition from campus to career by building skills and networks while enhancing resumes and portfolios.


Mellon Mays Fellowship

Open to students of all races and ethnicities, the program’s main objective is to increase the number of students from underrepresented minority groups, as well as others who demonstrate a commitment to the goals of MMUF, who will pursue a Ph.D. and a professorial career in designated humanities fields. The program’s overarching purpose is to address and remedy the disproportional absence of faculty of color in higher education, considering especially the effects of this disproportion on the educational process. As such, the MMUF program aligns with the historical mission of CSUDH, a campus born from, and committed to, a vision and mission of social justice.
