Spring Internships in Political Science
Apply By October 21st; Earn Academic Credit
The Political Science Department strongly encourages students to apply for an internship during their undergraduate years. Internships provide valuable work and networking experience. They also give students an opportunity to apply and augment the knowledge and skills they have acquired in the classroom.
The department helps students obtain internships through three main channels:
- Its Legal Internship Program
- Its Policy, Politics, and Public Administration Internship Program
- Sponsorship of students applying to the Maryland General Assembly Internship Program.
The department also periodically offers scholarships to financially needy students who accept unpaid internships. Please visit the department's scholarships website for information and a link to the application.
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. The department typically offers them every spring semester.
Applications can be found using the links above.
Applications for Department Assistance with Internship Placement are Due by Friday October 21st
