Apply what you have learned in your political science classes to the practice of politics and related career fields.  Three hours of credit can be earned while learning the "ins" and "outs" of politics and government service in state, local or national government settings or not-for-profit organizations. Students spend the equivalent of 10-hours per week performing internship duties over the course of the semester or a total of 150 hours.

Intern applicants must be mature, self-disciplined, work well with others, and demonstrate a commitment to the field. 

Intern applicants must completed six-hours of political science course work at JCCC or another college within the last two years earning minimum of a “3.0” on a “4.0” scale in those courses, have the written recommendation of your political science classroom instructor and permission of the Political Science Internship Mentor prior to undertaking their internship.

To apply for Political Science internships contact LeAnn Cunningham, JCCC Internship Coordinator or Professor Marilyn A. W. Gaar, Political Science Internship Mentor. For detailed information on JCCC internships, see http://www.jccc.net/home/depts/5301/site/toc_internships
