Internship Coursework

 

The Walker Institute internship program is designed to provide students with practical experiences in the realm of politics, government, and non-profit organizations at the local, state, and national levels. Walker Interns apply what they have learned in their Weber State University classrooms to practical circumstances and acquire the communication and organizational skills necessary for success in the workplace. Internships give WSU graduates a competitive edge because 93% of employers say they will only hire a recent graduate if they have an internship and 66% of employers say 2 or more internships are necessary.

The Walker Institute encourages you to take your credits in Political Science but will work with other departments as necessary to meet student graduation requirements. The coursework is as follows:

The Walker Institute will work with students to ensure the coursework matches the student's individual needs for graduation requirements. If you have any questions, please reach out to our internship coordinator Kylie Tingey (kylietingey@weber.edu).
