This program report traces the development of theuniversity of Virginia's undergraduate internship program. Theoriginal internship program was established in 1973 to provide socialscience majors, chiefly psychology majors, with opportunities toapply academically derived knowledge and skills in community serviceareas. Funded by a federal ACTION grant, the program placed 85students for 12-month tenures at 28 community agencies oVer athree-year interval. Upon termination of federal funding in 1976, astate-funded program was initiated to coordinate internships forapproximately 30 psychology and 20 sociology majors annually at 29community agencies. The second program was designed to correctseveral shortcomings revealed from an evaluation cf its predecessor.The results of two separate evaluations--one of the firstfederally-funded internship program and one of the, currentstate-frnded program--are presented in this report. The evaluation ofthe cur-rent program shows that many positive results of the firstinternship program are still being experienced. Interns ratethemselves as significantly more fulfilled, active, worthwhile, andpossessing a more broadened outlook on life than students who havenot participated in the program. The interns are more sure 'of theircareer choices. In addition, the interns' grade point averagesimproved more during their internship year than did those of otherpsychoegy and sociology majors.

Undergraduate Internships for Social Science Majors: Developmentand Longitudinal Evaluation of a Model Program'

Michael R. Rosmann2

In 1973 an internship program was set up for undergraduatesin the social sciences, chiefly psychology majors, at the Universitof Virginia, This proqram, funded by a federal ACTION grant,placed a total of 85 students for 12 month tenures at 23 communityagencies during a three-year interval. Upon termination offederal funding in the summer GE 1976, a state funded programwas initiated to coordinate internships for approximately 30psychology and 20 sociology majors annually at 30 community.agencies. The current internship program, officially calledthe Undergraduate Internship Program ieJIP), was designed tocorrect for several shortcomings revealed from an evaluationof its predecessor. This program report traces the developmentof the UIP, including the process of winning University andstate support.

The orginal internship program was designed to providesocial science majors with opportunities to apply academicallyderived knowledge and skills in service areas such as communitymental health, juven:ae and adult justice, day care, legal aid,and physical health. The students worked 20 to 36 hours perweek at their placement agencies and received subsistenceEt.isalaries from the ACTION grant and a small match from th ragencies. In turn, the interns were required to work exclusivelywith poverty issues and the poor. According to the ACTIONguidelines, the interns were not supposed to attend formalclasses and were to receive academic credit only for theirplacement work. However, this guideline had to be relaxedbecause there was no structure in the University to allowstudents to receive academic credit for only informal work.Therefore, the interns attended classes in areas related totheir work and received credit for these courses and independentstudy projects associate!'; with their work at their placements.

With termination of federal fending in sight, the ACTIONfunded program was evaluated in the Spring of 1976 and theresults of the evaluation were used to shape the peesent UIPprogram. A "posttest only, control group design" (Campbell &Stanley, 1963) was used to assess differences between the 85
