The Department of Political Science
offers a wide variety of intern programs at the local, state, national, and
international levels. The program is open to juniors, seniors, and
graduate students of above average academic standing. It allows
students to earn credit hours for their experience in the field with an
approved government agency, political campaign, non-profit organization or
the private sector.

students, not employees, of
The department offers two types of internships: paid and unpaid.
Paid internships include the Georgia Legislative Intern Program, the Governor's
Intern Program, the AFLAC Congressional Intern and others. Paid
internships provide a modest stipend to defray living expenses. As a
result, competition for them can be intense. Most paid internships are
limited to particular times of the year. In most cases, unpaid
internships are available throughout the year. Whether paid or unpaid,
a political science internship in the field may be an important preparation
for graduate or law school, or an important experience for future employment.
