Preparing political science students for a successful internship experience involves helping them find an appropriate internship placement, assessing their goals, clarifying expectations, and providing a forum for discussion and reflection that allows them to anticipate issues that could develop during their work experience. A successful internship does not occur by accident. Success requires intentionality and planning on the part of the faculty and flexibility on the part of the student.
