Student internship program. 1975.

These data were collected in order to assess the expectations for and impact of the Women and Career Options Internship Program funded by the Carnegie Corporation. Female students at six coeducational colleges in Massachusetts were invited to apply for an internship designed to encourage and assist undergraduates to pursue careers in professional fields traditionally dominated by men. A total of 413 applications were received over the two-year period of the program. Forty internships were awarded each academic year, 1973-1974 and 1974-1975. Interns were chosen by a panel of faculty fellows. The 80 participants each supplied a written essay or statement outlining her career goals and choices, a letter of recommendation from a faculty member or former employer, a college course transcript or performance evaluation, and answers to both a mailed questionnaire and a supplemental survey conducted in 1974-1975. The self-administered questionnaire explored factors influencing application for the internship, area of interest, the impact of the intern program office on campus, consultation received regarding the internship program, future education and career plans, experiences during the internship, and the influence of these experiences on future plans. All nonconfidential raw data and all computer-accessible data are available to users. Access to confidential records is restricted and requires approval by the director of the Murray Center.
