Students will enroll in this course when they have found an internship in public policy that they would like to complete for academic credit. The course will allow students and a supervising faculty member to establish common goals that are substantive and measurable, ensuring opportunities for meaningful learning. Completing an internship in the field of public policy is an opportunity for students to gain a deeper understanding of how the process of policy making and implementation works, develop knowledge within an area of interest, and expand skills in communication, critical thinking, analysis, and more. The internship may be completed locally, regionally, or internationally.
This course is for students who have already identified a faculty member to supervise them in an internship.
Varies from 1 to 12 credits
