Student Internship Opportunities Explained For several years, the Political Science Department internship program has grown to include more and more opportunities for students to complete internships as part of their study of government, law and politics. On average, 15-20 students complete unpaid internships for credit every fall, spring and summer term. In our Public Policy and Administration Program, Legal Studies minor and Paralegal Certificate Program, students are required to complete an internship. In our other programs, our students are strongly encouraged to complete an internship. Students who complete internships receive very valuable practical experience working in a number of different areas. The examples discussed below are only a small sample of the internships that our students have completed recently. (more) |

Travel Opportunities to Mexico and China Now Available in Political Science The Political Science Department now has two travel-study courses for students. One of these explores the impact of globalization on Mexico with travel to the state of Oaxaca. The other introduces students to the politics and society of China. The course to Mexico is PoliSci/Soc/Spanish 491/691, "Mexico - Globalization." This course was taught most recently by Charles Cottle, Political Science, and Jo Ellen Burkholder, Sociology/Anthropology, in the fall 2006 semester.

Lobbying Certificate Now Available to Students National
and state scandals have taken their toll on the reputation of
lobbyists and have led to questions about their role in the
political system. In spite of these real concerns, interest
groups play a central role in the American polity. In order
to reflect this new interest in the role of lobbyists in the
political system and to rehabilitate the role of advocacy in
the political system, the department of Political Science now
offers a Lobbying Certificate. |
