Special Opportunities
Internships - Independent Study - Research
Internships: We are currently developing internship partnerships
for this program. Our initial contacts have been greeted with great interest:
- One agency commented: “Interns … would get exposure to federal affairs, regulations, agencies, and especially customer relations. Most people don’t realize just how much goes into making our customers understand the federal regulations and why we have to enforce them. Knowing the regulations that pertain to airlines would need to be a primary focus for this degree, especially with the regulations being changed on a regular basis.”
- Another responded: “[We] would want the interns involved in customer decisions,budget meetings,and board meetings. [We] want them to get their hands dirty.”
