Internships, Field Work & Co-ops
| “My internship was an excellent experience because it gave me an overall feel for the entire court system.” |
Political science majors may complete an internship course for 3 credits. Students generally complete internships at locations close to SVSU, but internships in Lansing or elsewhere are available if you have the time to drive there on a consistent basis. Also, some students have chosen to complete internships in other areas of the country during Spring or Summer terms.
