TPUSA internships are personalized to your learning objectives. For example, advertising students may help with promotional and educational materials while public administration students may help develop management strategies. Internships are open for Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Hourly commitments for our internships are flexible. You will only be held responsible for the time you commit to in advance. Academic credits may be available for this internship. Speak to your program advisor and make sure you fulfill requirements to receive academic credit.
The tasks you will complete during your internship are defined by three main factors: TPUSA's needs, the internship you choose, and your needs as an intern. If TPUSA has a client in crisis, you could be assisting staff to serve that client rather than complete that day’s task.
