The internship is a graduation requirement for all students who enter the Master of Public Administration Program without at least one year of previous full-time professional experience in the public, non-profit, or public affairs sector. If you believe that your prior experience fulfills this requirement, you should submit an internship waiver request form and attach your resume to it.

Students who do not meet the waiver criteria must complete a minimum of 300 hours of MPA-relevant work in an internship or co-op placement. All experiential placements must be approved in advance by the MPA Program Director. Students seeking permission to move forward with a placement must submit this internship approval request form prior to beginning of the semester in which they intend to begin their placement. Students whose internships are approved will automatically be registered by the program for PPUA 6861 (0 credit hours) while co-op students will automatically be registered for INSH 6864 (1-2 credit hours).
