PSC 290 - Political Science and International Relations Internship (2-4 Cr.)

The political science major requires at least one 2-4 credit internship as a degree requirement. Students may choose to complete a second 2-4 credit internship to count as an elective within the major. Each credit requires 45 hours of work at the internship site. Internships may be taken for a letter grade only and require an academic component which will be overseen by a faculty member. Prerequisites: a political science course and permission of director. Students are accepted on the basis of course background and availability to upper-level students. First-year students are eligible. Preliminary application and interview required.

To register for this course, students will select PSC 290 for 0-credits. This will reserve your spot in an internship course for the desired semester. Registration will not be finalized until you complete the Internship Learning Agreement (ILA) and submit it to the Career Education Office. Once you have registered for the 0-credit course, the CEO will reach out to you to guide you through the ILA process.
