Internships
Internships represent an invaluable opportunity to see government in action and participate in processes that demonstrate the theories elucidated in class. BSU political science students have completed internships at locations ranging from the offices of U.S. Senators Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren and Governor Charlie Baker, to the Consulate General of Canada in Boston, the Suffolk County Superior Court and Plimoth Plantation. BSU also partners with The Washington Center, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that helps students find unique internship opportunities at a variety of employers in our nation’s capital.
