On the other hand, if you are planning on doing an Administrative Internship or a State Internship, it depends on what kind of internship you want to do. One way is to come up with an internship on your own through your connections. This is ideal because you know best what you want to do. The second way is for you and I to sit down and together we can come up with one that fits your needs. Not in the Department of Political Science.
Some internships do tend to be better than others.
A good internship is one that provides students with a high quality learning experience. For the student, a good internship provides some practical experience, perhaps future references, and establishes connections outside of school. A good internship also means that you will be exposed to substantive information to write a good research paper. I have found that the best internships are in public sector or non-profit agencies. The organizations in these sectors tend to provide students with a wider range of experiences than do private sector firms.
