INTS/PPOL internship credit counts towards your overall major credits and an internship may be taken in lieu of an INTS or PPOL elective course. There are a number of requirements that must be met in order to register for and obtain major internship credit. Please complete the Internship Application below and submit it, along with the job description to tara.boyle@du.edu in order for us to determine whether your internship is eligible for INTS or PPOL credit.

Credit cannot be awarded to a student who wishes to enroll after their internship has been completed. Students will be authorized to register for INTS 3980 or PPOL 3980 only after approval of the internship has been obtained. Once the students have received approval and registered for INTS 3980 or PPOL 3980 they may begin working on the elements of the internship project found to the right.
