2009 LEGISLATIVE INTERNSHIPS

sponsored by
THE NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY
and the
DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AT
NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY

The Department of Political Science and Public Administration at North Carolina State University is pleased to announce its 20th Legislative Internship Program, which it conducts under the authority of the North Carolina General Assembly.

The fourteen interns will enroll in three upper division courses at NC State University during the 2009 Spring semester. These courses are:

1. Governmental Internship Seminar (PS 391 - 6 hours)
2. Legislative Process (PS 502 - 3 hours)
3. Legislative Leadership (PS 498 - 3 hours)

A total of twelve (12) semester hours credit will be granted for transfer to the intern's college or university.

Interns will work a minimum of 30 hours each week at the General Assembly, which convenes in January 2009. Interns will be paid $300 per week for approximately 22 weeks of the session. Typically, the General Assembly continues to pay interns who are performing well to work until it completes its session. NC State University housing is usually available; however, interns my live anywhere they choose in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area.

Participation in the Legislative Internship Program is restricted to students who are regularly enrolled as advanced undergraduates (juniors and seniors) in accredited degree-granting institutions of higher learning in North Carolina. Priority in making appointments will be given to upper-class students with strong preparation in Political Science, Economics, Sociology, or other Social Sciences.
