PAD 780 Internship
The MPA Internship provides students with practical experience in a structured public administration context. Students intern in a government agency or nonprofit organization, where they will benefit from gaining substantive work experience in their areas of interest. They will have the opportunity to integrate and reinforce skills and concepts learned in the classroom. Students without workplace experience in the public sector are especially encouraged to complete an internship. This course requires a minimum of 100 internship hours per semester and completion of additional coursework.
