About this course
The student interested in a government career is afforded the opportunity to work under supervision in a public agency or political institution. The course is designed primarily to bridge the gap between the classroom and actual employment. Each student serves as an intern in a federal, state, local government agency, interest group, or non-governmental agency appropriate to their major field of study. POL 5452 may be repeated once for 3 credits, but only if the student took the course for 3 credits in a previous semester. Limit of 6 total credits in POL 5452. Before registering, students must obtain the permission of the specialization advisor and the faculty member in charge of placement. This course is cross-listed as PAF 5452. Students may receive credit for either POL 5452 or PAF 5452, not both. In order to receive credit for PAF 5452, students must fulfill that department's prerequisites. Students cannot receive 6 credits of PAF 5452 for a single internship experience.
