RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Student Advisory Council

Cohort Internship Experience
The Department gives credit for off-campus internships and supplements them with an academic component. Each semester, one of our faculty members supervises all interning students. Students meet intermittently as a group to share experiences and work towards their final internship project.
Internships are a popular complement to classroom studies. They permit you to sample a career before committing yourself to it and give you a look inside a political organization. They add to your personal growth, enhance your resume 鈥� and can be fun. Our students have interned at organizations including:
- Catholic Social Services Archdiocese of Philadelphia
- Clean Water Action
- Foreign Policy Research Institute, Legal Advocacy
- Civil Criminal Courts Counsel
- State House and Senate offices and election campaigns
- City Council offices and election campaigns
- U.S. House and Senate offices and election campaigns
