After another successful year, the John Brademas Center will once again sponsor a competitive Congressional Internship Program for New York University undergraduate and graduate students. During the 8 to 10 week program, participants will be placed in an office of a Member of Congress where they will have an opportunity to gain political and policy-making skills at the federal level. The interns will develop an advanced understanding of how Congress works to enact our nation's laws and will work on research projects under the supervision of faculty and fellows affiliated with the Center.
