2014 SUMMER INTERNSHIPS | MASTER OF PUBLIC POLICY POLICY AT WORK THE FORD SCHOOL MPP curriculum requires a policy-related internship, giving students the opportunity to apply their knowledge to significant problems in the public, private, or nonprofit sectors and develop and enhance skills in areas of professional interest. The internship – completed over the summer following the first year of coursework – helps students clarify their career direction, gives perspective on the selection of second-year electives, and enables students to establish networks of great value in securing postgraduation employment.
