Internships
Students in political science often complete internships as a means of extending their classroom learning, building foundations for professional careers and establishing networks that serve as a platform for entry into public affairs. Internship also can be used to meet major requirements and as electives in the major. Students generally arrange for their own placements but can do so with assistance from departmental faculty. Internships in political science have included placement at the following sites:
