<p>I'm leaning towards attending NEU next fall and will visit on Friday. However, since I plan to major in political science, does anyone know where NEU's political science program is ranked or how high it is regarded? Also, what kind of internships would one get with such a major? For example, I have a strong interest in journalism. Is it possible that I could get an internship writing articles on government for a newspaper or something to that extent?</p>
<p>The political science department is considered to be very strong. Michael Dukakis (former governor of Mass) and William Crotty (well known in the field) are on the faculty. Students can intern at the Mass State House, White House, British and Irish Parliments, and with members of Congress. NEU has a Washington program if your interested (with housing).</p>
