Internships for Political Science

The Department of Political Science encourages our majors to pursue and participate in an internship during their academic studies here at MSU Texas.  Students may earn credit for participating in approved internship opportunities during the fall, spring, or summer sessions. Internships offer students the professional opportunity to gain valuable skills and knowledge in a real-world environment.  They help students make potential job contacts through networking and help in determining potential career paths for the future. 

 

If you would like to pursue an internship in political science, please contact your advisor first.  Both your academic advisor and the Political Science and Global Studies Internship Coordinator will work with you and help you apply for this opportunity.

 

You can do an internship here in Wichita Falls, in another city, or another country.

Most internships are unpaid, but they offer an incredible opportunity. Through an internship, you can also earn course credit towards Political Science, Global Studies, or Women’s and Gender Studies.
