Experiential Education

All Monmouth University undergraduates are required to complete the Experiential Education requirement. Under this program, students gain valuable professional experience by successfully completing at least one designated course in their major or minor fields, participating in a faculty-sponsored internship practicum, service learning or corporate project, or cooperative education placement, or through the study abroad program.

Students majoring in History and Education automatically fulfill the requirement when they do their student teaching, generally during their senior year. Other history and anthropology majors can complete the requirement by taking any of the following elective courses:

AN 288 – Cooperative Education
AN 311 – Anthropology/History Internship Seminar
AN 315 – Field Research in Archaeology
AN 382 – Applied Anthropology
AN 380 – American Diversity
AN 388 – Cooperative Education
AN 488 – Cooperative Education
AN 489 – Field Study / Internship in Anthropology / Archaeology
HS 288 – Cooperative Education
HS 311 – History/Anthropology Internship Seminar
HS 388 – Cooperative Education
HS 488 – Cooperative Education
HS 489 – Historical Internship

a regularly offered course which has an experiential component such as Field Methods in Archaeology (HS/AN 315); or
History
