Description
An internship that synthesizes course knowledge and applies it in an authentic workplace. Students work a minimum of 240 hours during the semester in an approved governmental, non-profit, or criminal justice position under the guidance of an on-site supervisor. Students write weekly journal entries that demonstrate integrated knowledge of the practical (in the field) experience and connections to course material covered. Students meet with a political science professor during the semester to discuss journal entries and progress toward course objectives. Students are evaluated on performance by the site supervisor upon conclusion of the internship hours.
