The Washington Seminar selects well-qualified students from all majors to have an applied learning experience in Washington, D.C. Through a quality internship, briefings on current national issues, tours, and excursions, interns gain a valuable supplement to their academic training and the chance to be better prepared for their careers.
This is an application for students interested in registering for academic internship credit in Psychology, Sociology, or the School of Family Life. Before filling out an application, you should already have an internship opportunity set up with an off-campus organization. It would be helpful for you to schedule an appointment with Alison Sondrup (alison_sondrup@byu.edu), Family & Social Services Internship Coordinator.
The Utah State Legislature Internship is an excellent experience for students interested in the legislative and policy process. Interns work as personal assistants to legislators in researching legislation, attending committee hearings, meeting with constituents and lobbyists, and observing first-hand the process through which laws are made.
