B.A. in Political Science

Internships

As a political science major, you can acquire internship experience either through the department, or through the University’s Center for Career and Experiential Education (CCEE). Whatever route you choose, these internship opportunities help you gain practical experience that employers look for when hiring college graduates. They also let you establish a network of professional contacts, outside mentors and potential advocates for after graduation.

Within the department, you can receive a maximum of 6 credit hours (subject to faculty approval) by enrolling in PSC 375 and PSC 376. You must have a faculty sponsor within the Political Science Department who is willing to supervise and, ultimately, grade your work.

Students working at State Internships may also register for additional academic credits. Please contact Professor Ping Xu or Professor Chris Parker for additional information.
