Political Science Internships
Internships
An internship is an opportunity to receive academic credit for working in a governmental or political setting. Credit is not given for the work alone, but for the learning a student can demonstrate as a result of the experience. While interns normally receive little or no pay, credit can be arranged for either paid or unpaid internships. Internships can be located in any setting that provides an opportunity to observe some aspect of the political process. Among the most common are the U.S. Congress, state legislatures, political campaigns, international organizations, and national, state, or local administrative agencies. Under some limited circumstances, internships can also be arranged with lobbying organizations and with judges or law offices.
