[5] Career Center Resources
The Career Center has a wealth of resources to help you in your search for internships and permanent employment.
Here is how you can learn more about Career Center services:
Visit the Career Center website at:
http://cms.bsu.edu/About/AdministrativeOffices/CareerCenter.aspx
The Career Center website lists the resources available at the Career Center, has a calendar of upcoming events, and lists contact information for key personnel who can help you with your career plans. You can browse the website to get an idea of the resources available to you.
While you can learn a little by browsing the website, to fully utilize the Career Center’s resources you should consult with Career Center staff. You can visit the Career Lab in Lucina 235, where there are staff members who can show you how to use the databases and other resources.
You can also contact Dr. Joe Goodwin (j212goodwin@bsu.edu) at the Career Center. Dr. Goodwin is the Career Center advisor for students in the College of Sciences and Humanities (that’s you) and will be glad to discuss your career plans with you.
If you don’t use the Career Center you’re limiting your prospects for a successful internship or career search.
[6] Upcoming Career Center Workshops

For a list of topics, dates, times, and locations: http://internpoliscibsu.blogspot.com/2013/04/career-center-workshops-april-2013.html
[7] Receiving Academic Credit for your Internship
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 summer or fall internship, make sure that it is eligible for academic credit. Make an appointment with Dr. Taylor (cdtaylor@bsu.edu) to discuss your internship plans.
