CHR Internships
& Service-Learning
The Center for Homicide Research offers one of
the finest internship programs in the United States. Several internship and service-learning opportunities
are available. Qualifying students come from undergraduate, graduate and law schools.
This is a multi-disciplinary opportunity, though majors typically
include sociology, criminology, psychology, social psychology,
forensic psychology, or law. All internships are unpaid.
Applicants may qualify for grant funding
through their university or college. Check with financial aid offices or
academic advisors for possible funding for community internships.
Internships may also qualify as service-learning commitments. Check
with your university or college's service-learning office.
This internship is a highly sought after
placement. As a result, there is a one-time placement fee of $500 for this
position. An application fee of $25 must accompany your application upon
submission. If you email your application materials, you are free to mail
your check. Your application will not be considered until the fee has been
paid.
An additional fee of $8.00 is
required by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to conduct
your background check, but is not part of the initial application
process. The cost for out-of-state background checks may vary, but
are usually quite similar in cost.
