The Department of Political Science provides access to local and state governmental internships. The department also works with Texas Southern University to identify applicants for the Mickey Leland Congressional Internship, which places students in the Washington, D.C., offices of Houston-area Members of Congress.

It takes some individual initiative, however, to identify them.
