Internship

For students preparing for successful careers in government, the internship experience will fine tune your career path and, at the same time, introduce you to a network of professional contacts who will very likely serve as advisors, mentors and future resources.

Students from Regent University have secured internships in federal, state and local governments as well as other opportunities with political, advocacy and think-tank organizations nationwide. Internships are initiated by the student and will vary in length and location. You can learn more about the internship process by reviewing the following resources:
