UNCG’s ‘Humanities At Work’ Leads The Way in Internship Innovation

In April 2024, it was announced that UNCG’s College of Arts & Sciences had received a historic $5 million grant to launch Humanities at Work, a program that will provide paid internships and supportive coursework to students in UNCG’s nine humanities disciplines. Here, we provide an update on this important initiative, which launches with its first cohort of students in spring semester 2025. The following story is adapted from the UNCG Magazine story, “Paid Internships. Professional Success.”

Introducing: Humanities at Work

The backbone of this program is the transformative value of paid internships, which will impact 650 students and 130 local nonprofits over five years.
