    Description
    This course allows students to sociologically explore an internship work experience. Students will identify and secure an instructor-approved internship and will use the sociological perspective to analyze the organizational structures and processes of the workplace. Students will learn techniques to address common problems within social service and community-based organizations. Students will be required to fulfill 18 hours of lecture (online or face-to-face formats) and 54 hours of instructor-approved paid or volunteer work for two units; the student will receive one additional unit for each segment of 54 hours of instructor-approved work. This course may be taken four times for a maximum of 16 units as long as there are new or expanded learning opportunities on the job. Credit may be awarded for either CSP 305 or SOC 385 but not both.
