PS 1910 - INSTITUTE OF POLITICS INTERNSHIP/SEMINAR

Minimum Credits: 4
Maximum Credits: 4
Students selected for the institute of politics internship will register for this course for the experiential component of their internships. The purpose of the internship experience is to provide the student with direct exposure to the process of public decision-making. Each student will spend nine hours a week working with an individual or office directly involved in the policy making process. Students will be given specific responsibilities and will be expected to be an active and integral part of the office in which they are placed. The details and terms of each placement will be carefully worked out and agreed upon by the student, the placement supervisor and the placement sponsor. Utmost care will be taken to insure that the student is placed in a situation that will maximize his/her exposure to all office activities and that the student is not left unsupervised and uninvolved. Students from all disciplines may apply, but preference will be given to students in their junior and senior years. Students must report to their placement for at least nine hours a week and fulfill any agreed upon responsibilities. Students will also be required to keep a written journal which describes and analyzes their internship experience
