Internships
Internships are resume-building opportunities for students to explore
career and personal interests while gaining real world experience.
Options include internships in the Seattle area, Olympia, and Washington,
D.C. Additional internship listings are available in the Political
Science Advising Office in 215 Smith Hall.
You may earn academic credit for your internship through POL S
496. Please note that internship credits for POL S 496 do not count
toward the Political Science major, but will count as elective credits
for your degree. Download and print an application here: InternshipApp.
Please follow the directions carefully and submit the completed
form to 215 Smith by the first week of the quarter.
Contact an adviser in 215 Smith with any questions.
