College of Arts & Sciences Political Science

Internships

The Department of Political Science encourages all its students to seek internships during their college careers. The opportunities for practical learning are enormous. The benefits for career training are obvious. The department will assist students in identifying appropriate internship opportunities, preparing application materials, and assessing assigned academic materials for credit hours. 

Students from The U have had great success in securing internships at local, state, federal and international levels, in all branches of government, in the private and public sectors. When academic requirements are met, students can earn academic credit for substantive internships.
