INTERNSHIPS BY LOCATION

POLICY AT WORKTHE FORD SCHOOL MPP curriculum requires a policy-related internship,

giving students the opportunity to apply their knowledge to significant

problems in the public, private, or nonprofit sectors and develop and enhance

skills in areas of professional interest. The internship – completed over the

summer following the first year of coursework – helps students clarify their

career direction, gives perspective on the selection of second-year electives,

and enables students to establish networks of great value in securing post-

graduation employment.

FUNDING INTERNSHIPSThrough the generous contributions of Ford School alumni and donors, funding

support is available to offset the cost of pursuing unpaid internships in the

nonprofit or public sectors. (The Ford School historically offers 15-20 internship

partnerships funded between $6,000 to $7,500 through donor contributions. In

addition we have an Unpaid Internship Fund through which students can apply

for up to $3,000 for domestic and/or international internships.) Staff help students

weigh the benefits and costs of an unpaid internship, identify resources for

funding support, and write effective funding proposals.
