Internship

Internships are an integral part of the student experience at SIPA. Students in most of the MPA and MIA degree programs are required to register for and conduct an internship as part of their academic coursework. Still, all students are encouraged to explore internships as part of their education and career development. Students can register for a maximum of three internship credits toward their degree. Students who wish to earn internship credit for non-research internships will register for SIPA U9013 in the fall or spring semesters. Note: SIPA does not permit registration for internship credit during the summer term. Students completing their internship during the summer months and wishing to earn academic credit must register in the preceding Spring semester. Students may register for 0-points, 1.5-points (minimum of 120 internship hours), or 3-points (minimum of 240 internship hours) internship credits.
