Field work offers a wide variety of choices away from campus for those interested in learning through a combination of theoretical reading and first hand experience. The requirements for field work are listed below. Internships can offer majors a unique opportunity for first-hand experience in the political world which surrounds us. Most internships for political science majors are arranged through the Office of Field Work with academic credit arranged through a faculty supervisor in the Department of Political Science. Some other internship programs, including the Washington Semester Program, are arranged through the Study Away Office or the Center for Career Development .
Papers are due on the last day of classes.
Unexcused late papers are subject to penalty and may be unacceptable. Some instructors may require more frequent conferences. Students must consult with their instructors about readings and paper topics within the first three weeks of class. These conferences constitute an important dimension of the field work experience and are necessary to receive academic credit. Individual faculty members may establish additional requirements for field work that they supervise.
