All across America, in the public and private sectors, computers and networks are transforming the world of work. California is in the vanguard of many of these changes. Academic credit is given according to the Carnegie rule, which requires three hours of work on site for one unit of credit. Political Science credit is fixed at 5 units. International Relations credit may be variable.
Every student approaches an internship with individual goals and expectations.
All students must, of course, satisfy the core requirements, summarized above. Beyond this, decisions about accepting internships for credit take into account individual circumstances within the framework of the following general policies. These policies apply both to Political Science 192A,B and to International Relations 192. Unless there are compelling reasons to make an exception, students must work at the internship site in the same term in which they are enrolled in the internship course. This policy applies during the first summer session as well as during the regular academic year.
