The New York City Internship Program in Government and Public Affairs is a graduate and undergraduate program. The program is coordinated by the Edward T. Rogowsky Internship Program and operates on all senior CUNY college campuses, Borough of Manhattan Community College, Bronx Community College, LaGuardia Community College and Queensborough Community College. Internship faculty on each campus provide the intern with guided and rigorous academic course work to facilitate a theoretically grounded, yet practical understanding of New York City government and public affairs. Students are placed throughout the five boroughs, in governmental and non-governmental organizations. They are thereby able to gain desired work habits, develop networks, and further pursue their career interests. Because the internships are meant to focus on policy making in the public sector, the program and its Campus Faculty Coordinators (CFC) designate placements that enable students to gain substantive learning experiences. All majors may apply, however, eligibility and academic requirements vary at each campus. Eligible students may register for the internship seminar and earn academic credit. The internship runs for the length of the fall and spring semesters and includes attendance at the CUNY Forum, a panel discussion broadcast on CUNY-TV(Channel 75, NYC-TV) on a different policy issue each month of the semester.

Students intern 10-15 hours per week.
Students attend a weekly seminar.
Students attend three CUNY Forums.
Students contact College Faculty Coordinator prior to registering for the course.
All majors may apply (Please see your Campus Faculty Coordinator CFC).
The ETR Internship Program office assists in identifying and securing student placements.
