-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite and/or corequisite: By permission of the political science internship coordinator, completion of 6 credit hours in political science courses at JCCC or another college within the last two years, earning a minimum of a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in those political science courses, and a written recommendation from your political science classroom instructor Students augment their academic course work with an internship in an appropriate setting under instructional supervision. Internship projects are cooperative efforts between appropriate supervisors in state, local or national government settings or not-for-profit organizations and college staff and students. Internships give students the opportunity to participate in the real-world application of their academic studies. In addition, this synthesis of classroom study with practical experience provides students with skills and insights useful in selecting a career or avocation in community service. The student spends the equivalent of 10 hours per week performing internship duties over the course of the semester or a total of 150 hours.
