Students in class

Sociology and criminal justice internships

Sociology and criminal justice majors can participate in internships or off-campus study programs that take their learning beyond the classroom—to courtrooms, churches, correctional institutions, Native American reservations—anywhere you can study the behavior of people in groups. Northwestern’s Compass Center for Career & Calling will help you prepare for and find a program that matches your interests and talent. The experience will build your resume and increase your professional network.

Local and regional internships

Sociology/criminal justice majors who want to teach or work in criminal justice can student-teach or intern near campus in area schools or with local law enforcement.
