Key Points: This is an excellent opportunity for Â鶹´«Ã½s to view politics up close and personal. You will be living downtown away from campus that spring semester and your days will be full.
1. The Legislative Internship Program is an academic program, not work-study. It is demanding & not simply a way to gain credits through a practical experience. Only Â鶹´«Ã½s who are very serious about their academic studies are chosen & major emphasis is placed upon participation & performance in the seminar.
2. This is a full-time internship requiring Â鶹´«Ã½s to work in their Legislative office each weekday. Interns cannot have a part-time job during the day Monday -Friday.
