Internships

Education 170/172 - Educational Internships I and II

Internships for Education 170 and 172 are usually the first internships students participate in during their education at Millikin. Students serve as teaching assistants for 30 hours, 3 or 4 hours per week for an entire semester for ED 170. Alternately, this may be done in an intensive 5-day internship during university break for ED 172. 

Also available is an ED 172 course that involves completing the internship at Chicago Center for Urban Life & Culture. This is a total immersion internship where the culture of the area is also included in the experience.
