Internship Opportunities

Past students have evaluated their internships in the following ways:

• This internship opened by eyes and allowed me to get a feel for the things I like and don't like about government.

• I am glad that I had the opportunity and privilege to participate in such a wonderful experience.

• This was exciting and a huge adrenaline rush. I was extremely pleased during my internship time with the Motor Vehicle Enforcement Division and National Insurance Crime Bureau.
