Timing
Students complete this optional Capstone experience preferably between their Junior and Senior years. As a non-work-study experiences, therefore, internships are not intended to be completed between semesters. Rather, they are viewed as an after-hours, part/full-time experience, and are more likely to be available outside the BYU-Idaho area. However, a few on-campus internships have been approved (mainly in the Spori Art Gallery).
Internships should have responsibilities that pertain directly to the broader Humanities/Liberal Arts, with particular emphasis on gaining experience and skills in future career-related paths and fields.
Students should work closely with a mentor in the organization (Experience Provider) for whom they are working.

I learned so much about Europe and especially Italy; I wouldn't change a thing. I feel that this was a true capstone for my humanities degree.

Learn more about societies available to you through the department!
The purpose of this society is to increase the skills and abilities of students interested in philosophy by practicing and exercising critical and philosophical thinking and by informing and introducing those new to the study of philosophy to the methods of philosophy as an academic and personal discipline. The Philosophical Society aims to provide an avenue of learning not just for students, but for faculty and the University at large, and to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue on relevant philosophical topics so as to create a University-wide forum. The society also encourages discourse with other institutions of higher learning by promoting debate and an exchange of ideas with professors and students of other Universities. The Philosophical Society fosters a safe, wholesome atmosphere for individuals to discuss philosophical topics with students of common interests, and form friendships based on the love and pursuit of wisdom.
