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
State Attorney General's Office Bureau of Consumer Protection in Erie
