Internships

Political Science majors may earn credits in an approved internship program. To qualify for credit, an internship must be related in some meaningful way to politics, government, public service, or other facets of civic life.

For further information, students should:

• Download and read the Department's information sheet on internships;
• Consult with Professor Charles Cnudde, who runs the internship program.

• For summer internships, consult with Professor Paul Watanabe.

Other Information Sources

Students with an interest in internships should visit the Cooperative Education Office (M/3/625) for information and guidance about other programs. Internship Programs at UMB Career Services can point to numerous internship possibilities aside from the placements specifically offered through the Political Science Department.

The American Political Science Association also has internship information and resources for political science majors.
