State Government Internship

The Honors College and the political science department partner to provide Honors students opportunities to work in state and local government while earning academic credit.

Overview

Students enroll in a course that pairs classroom time with a 120-hour internship. The program supports students interning in state or local government and a broad range of state agencies. All majors are welcome. The opportunity is available in both fall and spring semesters.

Interested students should complete this form. For students needing assistance seeking an internship, support is provided. There are a limited number of internship positions where students can be placed. Students who have already obtained a state or local government internship are also eligible for this program.

Space in the course is limited, and priority is given to students who already have an internship, then by classification.

Students will be notified if they are accepted and will be registered for the course.


Courses and Credits
