TPOLS 496: Politics, Philosophy and Economics Internship

This is a competitive internship program designed for advanced PP&E students. These internships are available in autumn, winter and spring. If selected, the PP&E intern coordinator will help place you in an appropriate internship. Typically internships are in politics, policy, law, government, research or with a non-profit organization. Students will earn 5-10 credits (and in some cases 15 credits may be possible), depending on the internship. In addition to interning for an organization, students will attend periodic classes or meetings, maintain a weekly journal, and write a research paper on a topic that corresponds with the internship. Students interest in participating in this internship should contact Chuck Rowling.
