Internships

Every graduate of Sage College of Albany leaves with significant experience in their field of interest. That’s because internships here are the norm, not the exception. This practice ensures that grads can really perform what they’ve studied in the classroom as students. All SCA programs allow you to learn by doing, whether it be in art studios, computer labs, or "real world" research.

Our Albany location is a huge bonus for students seeking internships — a state capital is a magnet for many businesses, agencies and offices associated with government, social, legal and political affairs. Sage has connections throughout the state government as well as in the vibrant business community.

All SCA approved internships carry academic credit, so you’ll be making important progress toward your degree and gaining hands-on work experience at the same time. The right internship can help you build a killer resumé – and might even land you that dream job before you graduate. So what are you waiting for? Your future employer is calling!

INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES MAJOR

The Interdisciplinary Studies major is an exciting baccalaureate of science major program designed by the Student. The purpose of the Interdisciplinary Studies program is to allow students the opportunity to create a degree program that matches their unique interests and career goals. Students design a major made up of a combination of courses from two or more disciplines offered by the College, (ie, BUS and PSY).

The proposed interdisciplinary studies major must specify at least 36 credits total from at least two disciplines, and at least one of areas of interest must be drawn from courses required in a currently offered SCA or SAW major dependent upon the student's enrollment status. At least one-half of the credits required (min. 18 credits) for the interdisciplinary major must be in upper-division courses (300-level or higher) as determined by the faculty in the affected programs.

Students electing to declare this major must do so before having completed 90 credit hours. Admission to SCA or SAW does not guarantee an interdisciplinary proposal will be accepted. Students should first consult with the Director of Academic Advising and then work with the program directors and faculty advisors in the affected majors to create a written proposal explaining their areas of interest and a listing of the required major courses. This proposal must be approved by a faculty advisor in each affected discipline, the Director of Academic Advising and the Dean of the College.
