Public policy touches every industry, so no matter what you're studying, an internship in a policy-related career can expand your understanding of that major. As one of Texas A&M University’s premier leadership and development opportunities, the Public Policy Internship Program (PPIP) provides a unique opportunity for students to combine academics with policy knowledge and professional work experience.
Through PPIP, undergraduate and graduate students actively participate in the policy process at the state and national level. Our credit-bearing internship program is offered year-round, allowing students to participate in the fall, spring or summer semesters. Whether interning in Washington, D.C. or Austin, TX, students walk away from their internship semester with a better understanding of their individual strengths and professional goals.
Most importantly, our experienced staff works with students every step of the way to help provide a meaningful learning experience.
If you ever find yourself in Washington, D.C. for an internship, enjoy it, hustle at work, get coffee with people, network, show up, and work hard. When you get off work, spend time with your roommates, get to know people outside of the office, explore, relax, and have fun getting to live in one of the coolest cities in the world!
