Internships
Politics students are encouraged to pursue internships as an integral part of their coursework. The Cornell Fellows Program supports many such opportunities, and additional internships are sponsored by the Berry Center for Economics, Business, and Public Policy.
The department also maintains excellent relationships with two external programs: The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars and The Washington Internship Institute.
