Full-Time Internship in State Governance

Structured fieldwork under CUNY auspices in Albany allows mature students to experience first hand and participate in law making, administrative, or public interest advocacy processes. Special placements in legislative, public agency, or non-profit organization settings are made and supervised by an on-site CUNYdirector. To reinforce and integrate field experiences, interns attend special courses, issue study forums, and mock legislative or Policy-making sessions given by resident social scientists. All interns prepare a substantial research report under the direction of a designated York College Political Science Department mentor. Openings in each program are limited and filled on a competitive basis. Students chosen to participate reside in Albany during theinternship and receive cost-of-living stipends.
