Political Science also offers the seminar/internship program in
New York politics, semester-long Albany internships with the State
Senate, the State Assembly, and NYPIRG, summer Washington internships,
and placements that can be arranged through individual faculty
members with organizations in international relations. The Department
has a public leadership program that allows its top students to
take a seminar in preparation for residencies by leading public
officials. The most recent residencies have been by President
Bill Clinton, Governor Mario Cuomo, and Senator George Mitchell.
Recent
