Eligibility & Awarding of Credit: Before the internship semester actually begins, a student must have completed one-half of the credit requirements for graduation with a GPA OF 2.5. The student must also have completed 15 hours of Political Science courses with a GPA of 2.5 in those courses. Each Political Science internship can earn as many as nine credits, but no more. Therefore, a student may earn as many as eighteen credits from Political Science internships, a maximum of nine from each of two internships. However, only six internship credits (of the maximum eighteen) may be applied toward the requirements for a major or minor in Political Science. If additional credits are earned in internship experiences, they must be counted as free electives. The number of credits to be granted for an internship, and whether they will be granted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the major or minor, will be determined by the Department on a case by case basis. Internships may not be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. Internship credit will never be granted retroactively. Candidates for the Regents Bachelor of Arts degree are eligible for Political Science internships subject to the same norms and procedures as Political Science majors. Neither Political Science major nor Regents Bachelor candidates will receive credit for an internship that is a repetition of previous experience.
