Internship notices are also available in the Placement Office of the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and in the COAS Career Development Center. Finally, don't forget that one of the best ways to locate an internship opportunity is to write public officials or groups which interest you. Many offices, groups, and candidates will appreciate your desire to volunteer. For those students who prefer to pay a professional organization to find the internship, advertising posters and information are available on the Undergraduate Bulletin Boards in Woodburn 210. Information on overseas internships can be found in the Resource Room, as well as in the Overseas Studies Office in Franklin Hall.
Students are responsible for contacting a faculty member to serve as internship sponsor.
A handout on the kinds of internships faculty members are prepared to supervise is available in the Undergraduate Office. Credit hours and the specific nature of the academic work required is worked out between the student and his or her sponsor. In no case does the department award credit for the work experience itself. Offices seeking interns may advertise that they will help you arrange credit. In the case of IUB Political Science credit, this inaccurate.
