Two courses in the political science curriculum, POLI 438 (Legal Internship) and POLI 448 (Internship in Policy, Politics, and Public Administration) enable students to earn academic credit for internships. 

To earn the four credits associated with POLI 438 or 448, students must:

• Work for at least 160 hours during the semester when the class is taken at an internship approved by the course instructor;
• Concurrently enroll in and fulfill all requirements associated with the Career Center's 0-credit, tuition-free Intern Success Practicum
• Complete a minimal set of oral and written reflections as specified in course syllabi.

Students need permission from the course instructor to register for POLI 438 or 448. Except in the case of eligible students who are applying for departmental internship placement assistance (please see below), students should register for the Career Center's Intern Success Practicum ("the PRAC") prior to seeking permission to enroll in POLI 438 or 448
