Graduate Internships

Graduate political science students at SLU may complete internships for up to six hours of credit. Students work under the direction of a preceptor at the internship location and a faculty member in the department.

A six-hour graduate internship will involve about 200 hours of work of a serious, professional character, central to the work of the agency or institution in which it occurs.

In addition to the work at the internship location, you will write an extensive paper, grounded in relevant academic literature, which may take the form of a well-defended policy recommendation paper, a formal grant proposal, or a professional quality paper, as approved by a faculty member.

Internship locations may be in St. Louis, Washington D.C., or elsewhere. Some paid government internship programs exist, . If you want to undertake those internships as part of your M.A. work, apply early as it can take more than a year to make it through the application process.
