Project Help from Evans School Students
Each year, 70-100 Evans School students are required to complete both a professional internship during the academic year or summer and an academic year “degree project” that defines a research question, provides context to the issues being addressed, employs analytical tools, and offers findings and recommendations.
Our master's students generally have two to five years of work experience in addition to graduate training in areas as varied as policy analysis, planning, public management, budgeting and fiscal policy, program evaluation, and a variety of specific policy topics. Graduate interns are prepared to think strategically, analyze rigorously, and communicate clearly.
