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.
