- Title
NASPAA GUIDELINES FOR PUBLIC SERVICE INTERNSHIPS.
- Abstract
The article presents guidelines for public service internships developed by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs & Administration (NASPAA). Unlike the medical school requirement, there have been no generally accepted guidelines and. standards for public service internships. As a result, the term public service internship denotes many varied field experiences. The NASPAA proposed that the internship should be related to an academic calendar and should last a minimum of ten weeks and a maximum of twelve months. As set forth in the NASPAA guidelines and standards for professional degree programs, experiential learning should be considered an indispensable element of public affairs/public administration programs. The primary responsibility for evaluating the adequacy of the placement of the intern should rest with the academic coordinator, not with the student. The participating placement agency should, where practicable, be encouraged to provide a stipend or salary to the intern. Evaluation should be a continuous, on-going aspect of the internship program.
