PLS 460 - Practicum in Political Science

Institution:

Hastings College

Subject:

Description:

Th e practicum program in political science is meant to provide students with the opportunity to take practical training and obtain practical experience in an area of particular interest to them in the fi eld. Th e PLS department takes the broadest possible interpretation of what constitutes an internship- the purpose of the course is to work with the student in their interest area rather than to compel them to complete something rigid and onerous. Students have completed standard internships with Nebraska (or home state) Senators, House and state legislative members, worked for public nonprofi t organizations, interned at government agencies and pursued rigorous fi eld studies for presentation at conferences. All practicums contain some type of written assignment (a journal, paper, completed research design and so on) and must meet the standards of the overseeing professor.
