Internships

The Government Department internship courses provide students with practical political and policy experience informed by their education at the university. Prospective interns should expect to spend 9-12 hours per week during a long semester working for an organization or entity directly related to government and politics. In addition to their tasks in the approved organization of their choosing, students also meet periodically with the internship coordinator and complete a series of assignments that link their internships to academic reflection and analysis.

Please see Internship for more information.
