At the Eagleton Institute of Politics, students learn about the American political system and the day-to-day practice of politics. The Institute offers a variety of courses and opportunities for students to explore contemporary issues.

With the elections for New Jersey State Legislature just two months away, it is a great time to get involved at the Institute even if you already have your fall semester course schedule set. Subscribe to our podcast, follow the Institute on Twitter and Instagram, or apply for a research or internship experience.

Applications are open for the 2024-2025 cohort of the Eagleton Undergraduate Associates Program.

An interdisciplinary certificate program for all Rutgers juniors interested in American politics and government, associates spend parts of their last three semesters linking the study of politics to its real-world application, building knowledge, skills, and networks for political, government, and community engagement. Students from all campuses and majors are encouraged to apply.

Eagleton Undergraduate Associates take a series of three unique courses (one each semester) and complete a summer or fall internship in American Politics, government, policy, or advocacy. They learn about political power and decision-making while honing their leadership and professional skills.

Application Deadline: Monday October 23, 2023 at 5:00PM
