PST 390 - Policy Studies Internship

Institution:

University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth

Subject:

Political Science

Description:

Prerequisites: PST 102, PST 201, and upper-class standing. A policy-related internship tailored to each students’ career preferences or academic interests. The selection of an internship venue will occur in consultation with the student’s MPP advisor and with the approval of the MPP Internship Coordinataor. The Internship venue is usually selected from a pre-approved list of local, state and federal agencies, non-profit organizations and private sector businesses. Note: The field work component of the internship (2 credits) is waived if an individual has at least two years substantial and relevant work experience in a policy making or public management position, although students must still enroll in the academic course component (one credit) of the internship to graduate. This variable credit course may be taken for 1 to 15 credits, but no more than three credits may count toward fulfilling requirements toward the minor in Policy Studies. The course is open to all students, although preference will be given to Policy Studies majors and minors.
