Internships
Internships are an excellent opportunity to gain valuable professional experience, explore different career fields, develop your professional network, and apply the skills and knowledge that you are learning in your anthropology courses.
Anthropology students have had internship and volunteer positions in a wide range of organizations in the greater Columbus area and beyond, including the Ohio History Center, Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), Franklin County Forensic Science Center, and the Community Refugee and Immigration Services (CRIS).
