Norms and Proceedures:
A good internship experience usually results from good planning. Since
planning takes time, a student should meet with the Department's Coordinator
of Internships as early as possible-- preferably a full semester before
the semester of the internship itself.
Selection of the actual internship placement site usually results form
conversations between the student, the Coordinator of Internship Programs,
and sometimes other members of the Department. The Department may approve
a placement site that the student finds without prior consultation,
but the Department is not obligated to do so.
After initial contact is made with the placement site, the prospective
intern will interview with the field supervisor.
A Learning Contract will set out the objectives of the internship, its
requirements and the method of evaluation. The contract will be signed
by the academic supervisor, the field supervisor, the intern, the department
chair and the Registrar.
The internship will be evaluated by both the field supervisor and the
academic supervisor, and the academic supervisor will assign a letter
grade for the credit.
Internships may be arranged for the summer. All of the norms and procedures
which apply for an internship during the fall and spring semesters apply
for summer internships.
A student may register for no more than two Political Science internship
experiences, and may register for only one at a time.
