The Civic Leaders Internship Program supports up to 10 sophomores, juniors, or seniors in 12 credit hour, full-time internships in state government.

Faculty can help students qualify for full-time enrollment during the CLIP semester by offering to mentor a student through independent study. Full-time enrollment for a student might look like 6 hours CLIP (16 hours at internship site plus class), 3 hours State Government and Leadership, and 3 hours independent study.
