No matter what the student's major, the public policy process provides many professionally rewarding and personally satisfying opportunities. Whether the student's major is Nutrition, Psychology, Chemistry, or Political Science, you'll see below how many career and personal enrichment avenues are available in politics, law, and government. And what better way to explore these opportunities than through an internship. Internships can provide a way around the Catch-22 of career movement. Students need a college degree to get a good job but they need work experience to get a better job.
Students can get college credit for an internship.
Students may be able to obtain a paid internship and earn some money at the same time. The Capital Region is filled with internship possibilities. These committees consider public policies for these fields. And students interested in a career in one or more of these fields might consider an internship with the relevant committee or state legislator. Applications can be obtained from Dr. Stephen Schechter on the Troy campus and must be submitted to him by October 15 .
