PAFF 6645 Archer Program Internship

This course consists of an approved internship in a governmental or non-governmental organization in Washington, D.C.-and readings and discussions based on that internship. Students must arrange for this internship themselves, but will receive continual advice and contacts from the Archer Program. Many internships will be at places were Archer students have completed internships during previous semesters, and Archer graduates will be available to provide additional contacts, advice and assistance. Students will gain a wide range of experiences from these internships. They will acquire and utilize the inter-personal skills necessary to function effectively in an office environment; they will become more conversant with the substantive issues on which their office focuses; and they will, by necessity, learn the time-management, priority setting and other skills necessary to meeting the work and classroom demands of the Graduate program in Public Affairs.
