Institute for Global Studies offers internship placements, which involve the following tracks, in the field of Politics and Government in several destinations worldwide:

Track One:
Work for a political advocacy group. Lobbyists come in all shapes and sizes. We aim to match students with organizations they support. Lobbyists imbed themselves in the halls of power and use their connections to enact change or maintain the status quo. Advocates master the art of “getting the word out” and understand how political spin can shape issues.

Track Two:
Cover politics for a community newspaper. City Pages newspapers lean left and provide coverage and commentary on a host of issues that affect their community. Past IGS students have been assigned field topics on divisive political issues and have had their work published. Whether you are interviewing a local politician or covering a protest, you have a chance to be in the heart of it all.

Track Three:
Promote a political candidate. Join the campaign trail and lend your support to a candidate. IGS students have assisted candidates both in the United States and abroad in their quest for leadership.
