Full-Time Internship in National Governance

Structured fieldwork under CUNY auspices in Washington D.C. during the summer session allows mature students to experience first hand and participate in law making, administrative, or public interest advocacy processes. Carefully developed placement in legislative, public agency, or non-profit organization settings are made and supervised by an on-site CUNY director. To reinforce andintegrate field experiences, interns attend special courses, issue study forums, and mock legislative or policymaking 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 toparticipate reside in Washington D.C. for seven weeks and receive cost-of-living stipends.
