Internships by
The Institute
of Political Economy
The Institute of Political Economy's (IPE) internship program is
designed to help students enrich their education. The Institute
provides academic credit for work with the U.S. Congress, the Utah
State Legislature, national lobbying groups, political campaigns,
and agencies of state and local government. We place between 50-55
students a year. Approximately 20 of these students intern in Washington,
DC, 25 serve in Salt Lake City and the remainder stay in Logan and
the surrounding area.
Students who serve internships supplement their classroom studies
with practical experience, applying what they have learned in their
course work. They also gain practical experience that complements
future university courses. Internships also help students prepare
for prospective employment. In addition to giving students an idea
of how the workplace operates, internships provide students with
a competitive edge when seeking employment. Obtaining work experience
during college often results in more job offers, a higher starting
salary, and more frequent promotions.
