Real World Experience Opportunities for Undergrads

Public Administration Fellows are undergraduate or graduate students who work in the Institute for Public Administration (IPA) as research assistants during the academic year. Whether studying best practices for green-building policies or researching community-based strategies that towns and cities may employ to give residents convenient, safe, everyday opportunities for physical activity, IPA’s undergraduate Public Administration Fellows are helping to build knowledge and educate others on critical issues that will make a difference in the lives of citizens in Delaware and across the globe.

​This summer program is open to undergraduate students as an opportunity to work in one of Biden School's research and public service centers on public policy issues such as aging, civic engagement, disaster preparedness and response, education, the environment, healthcare, healthy communities, homelessness, housing discrimination, land-use planning, poverty, preservation planning, transportation, welfare, and water resources planning. Summer fellows learn about policy issues from leaders in the field and witness classroom concepts come to life through applied research and public service.
