Political Science 298 - Practicum

A practicum/internship will help you gain invaluable knowledge and skills that can serve as a stepping-stone to your career. You can find an internship locally, in a major city, or abroad. Seeking an practicum/internship requires a great deal of initiative on your part - you must both find a site where you can work and connect with a faculty member who will support you in your academic efforts related to that work.

For most students, both Career Services (and the Hand Shake portal) and the Political Science Department offer support around setting up the practicum/internship. After you have secured a site and a faculty sponsor, please work with the Political Science Chief Undergraduate Advisor (CUA) to confirm choice of class.
