Economics and Political Science Internships

Information -- Summer, 2009

Register ASAP important.  Some placements can take a long time to establish and starting early will ensure completion of the Internship Program in a timely manner.  Also, due to changes in funding of the internship program at Grossmont College, the program is being severely restricted and we are only offering internships in the following fields: 

Financial - brokerage houses such as Merrill-Lynch, Dean Witter, and the like. 

Political - U.S. Senate and Congress, state senate and assembly, city councils, board of supervisors. Democratic, Republican, or party of your choice.

Legal - District Attorney, City Attorney, U.S. Attorney

Create Your Own Internship - If you are currently working in a field that is providing you with experiences that will directly apply to your college degree, please contact us and we will see if we can work out a program for you.  Check with Lizette Hackett or Dr. Cummings in room 560-B or by telephone at 619-644-7509.

Note: Due to severe budget constraints, there will be only 40 internships available this Fall.  Email Lizette as soon as possible. 

Course Requirements - For the 1 unit class students are required to complete 60 hours (75 if paid), and for the 2 unit class the requirement is 120 and 150 hours.  In addition, there is some necessary paperwork to complete, and students must make two office visits in 560-A. The course is graded and your grade will be based largely upon the evaluation of your sight supervisor.
