Senate and Assembly internships are available on
a competitive basis for outstanding sophomores.
Applicants are screened by a selection committee
in Albany after approval by the Campus Liaison
Officer. The program begins in early January with
a week-long orientation to the operation of state
government. After placement in a NYS Senate or
Assembly office, interns participate in weekly
seminars exploring how politics influences policy
in the NYS legislative process. Critical issues
that challenge NYS will be used as models for
understanding the complexities of the
policy-making process. The various actors
involved in policy-making, in particular, the
legislators, the governor, state agencies,
citizens, lobbyists, and the media, are analyzed.
Interns receive academic guidance and support
from the permanent program staff, the professors in
residence, and from legislative staff. This
guidance allows students to maximize their
understanding of the practical application of the
theoretical concepts introduced in the seminar.
A stipend is available for housing in Albany.
