Internships
The political science internship provides the opportunity for a structured learning experience in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Politics majors may seek out internships independently, but are also encouraged to enroll in POL 89A: Political Science Internship. This course is designed to combine experiences working in fields such as government, law, media, and interest advocacy with coursework that ties an internship back to the study of politics. This course is usually offered every semester. Note that students must be enrolled in POL 89A or an internship course offered by another department to receive academic credit for their internship. For questions, please contact Professor Zachary Albert.
Brandeis can cover transportation costs for internships off campus! Starting this spring, all students registered for Politics 89a are eligible for financial coverage of their transportation costs to and from their off campus internship sites. Train fees, bus fees, tolls, and Uber/Lyft fees are all eligible for reimbursement. Receipts will be required. For more information, please contact Professor Zachary Albert.

The Jewish Service Corps is an immersive service year program running September 2025 - August 2026 for emerging changemakers ages 21-26. Participants spend a year serving full-time at a non-profit in Chicago, New Orleans, New York, or Washington, DC while living and learning in a justice-oriented, pluralistic Jewish community. We believe that students in your classes would make great fits for this program! Corps Members live and learn together in intentional communal homes in Chicago, New Orleans, New York, and Washington, DC. While they deepen their social justice framework through experiential programming and values-driven community building, Corps Members serve directly at local organizations tackling crucial social and economic justice issues such as immigration, education, housing, healthcare and food insecurity. After the year is over, Corps Members enter our active alumni community for life!
The application for the 2025-2026 program year is now open – serious candidates are encouraged to apply by the March 26th deadline. After this, we will accept applications on a rolling basis until all spots are filled.
