Internships
Students in the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences have been placed in a wide variety of internships including:
- The George W. Bush Institute
- Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
- JPMorgan Chase Bank
- The City of Dallas
- The National Center for Policy Analysis
- The U.S. Department of Education
- Southwest Airlines

Internships are intended to provide students with academically relevant work experience. An internship can be paid or unpaid. Undergraduates can earn up to six credit hours over two semesters, and they are graded on a credit/no credit basis, not for a letter grade.
Graduates can earn up to three credit hours. To qualify as an intern, the student must be working in a professional environment and have a supervisor/manager that will support them through the process. A student must work at least 120 hours during the semester to earn three credit hours. Some employers require the student to work 240 hours during the semester which is 20 per week.
