We offer a policy internship with the Erie County Commission on the Status of Women. This internship course offers students a unique opportunity to design public policies aimed at women's empowerment and to develop practical skills that will give them a competitive advantage in the job market. Other internships are possible for academic credit in consultation with the department's director of undergraduate studies and the supervising faculty member.
