POSC1513 Political Science Work Experience

The purpose of work experience is to provide students with an integrated instructional program that provides opportunities to connect academic curricular to applied experiential learning in the workplace. This course is specific for students enrolled in political science programs. Attitudes, skills, and knowledge essential for success in their career field are explored. Students should develop career awareness, learn industry culture, competencies, and norms, and develop professional networks in their field to support career mobility. Please note that some four-year institutions will not accept transfer Work Experience units or have a cap on how many units will transfer. In those cases, Work Experience units will probably be accepted as elective units. Enrollment is restricted through an application process.
