FDU Practicum: 
What students are saying . . .
FDU's Practicum in History, Political Science and Sociology, 
is a three credit course in either History, Political Science, or Sociology, that combines the traditional classroom setting with the practical experience of an internship.  We invite you to find out more about the Practicum program by going to our website.

What follows are some quotations from students who have recently taken the class:
 

  • "The knowledge that I gained through the first hand experience of an internship was more educational than anything I could have learned in a classroom.  It made me more secure in my major and what I want to pursue as my career."
  • -Graduate Student, Psychology
  • "In the few months working for the ACLU, I have learned about a vast number of legal issues, specially those pertaining to individual rights.  As an intern I not only had the opportunity to see closely the work of this organization but I was also able to learn about legal developments taking place in congress. As a future law student, I am certain that the knowledge of law that I have acquired in this internship will be a tool which will help me in my law school application process."
  • -Senior, Political Science
  • "I enjoyed this experience very much, and it helped me to learn more about things I did not know much about. It also helped me to gain more practice in the field of education, which  I will need in the future." 
  • -History major
  • "...I had the best time working in public history."
  • -History major
  • "It was such a positive experience for me..."
  • -History major
