Internships
are valuable in themselves because of the experience they provide. Students who
have completed an internship are better positioned to go on the permanent job
market than those who haven’t.
But it is also possible to get academic credit for your internship. For political science undergraduates, completing an internship is one way to complete your capstone requirement. For graduate students in the MPA program, an internship is required unless you have appropriate professional experience. Grad students in the MA program may, but are not required to, complete an internship for credit.
If you are planning a spring or summer internship, make sure that it is eligible for academic credit. Make an appointment with Dr. Taylor (cdtaylor@bsu.edu) to discuss your internship plans.
