Student Internships
Political or government internships are recommended for all political science majors. Penn State Behrend students have a wide variety of internship opportunities due to the large number of political and government offices located in Erie. Internships can be obtained for academic credit or just for the experience - students are responsible for contacting political or government offices to set up the internships.
Recent political science students have interned in the following offices:
Erie office of Senator Bob Casey
Erie office of Senator Arlen Specter
Erie office of Representative Phil English
Office of State Representative Flo Fabrizio
Governor's Northwest Regional Office
