Customarily, most of our applicants come from schools of public affairs, public policy, and public administration, but full consideration will be extended to applicants from business, law, computer science, systems science, change management/organizational development, industrial engineering, environmental science, and other degree programs relevant to a particular program track.
10-15 interns will be selected for each program. Most placements are with sponsoring agencies in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.
Foreign students are eligible, provided they are properly credentialed to study, work, live, and travel in the United States through August 2009.
