What is an Internship?
Internships provide a unique opportunity to participate in the professional work environment while still learning and developing the skills needed for successful employment. The Master of Science in Social Policy Program (MSSP) prepares professionals for leadership positions in government, philanthropic foundations, research institutes, nonprofit or nongovernmental organizations, and other related settings, through:
- Understanding the world views, assumptions, and philosophies underlying all policy solutions;
- Understanding how decisions about social policy issues are made, shaped and influenced at local, state, and national and global levels;
- Formulating a social reform agenda that is evidence based and aims at improving the equity, effectiveness and efficiency of human and social service provision; and
- Generating and considering a wide array of policy options to address social problems.
Importance of Internship
The internship should provide an opportunity for the student to expand horizons beyond the academic. It should serve as an opportunity to integrate the classroom learning and apply research skills, via experiences in policy analysis, policymaking, and/or policy implementation, policy evaluation activities, and/or other policy-related activities. It allows students to gain “real” world experience while providing important networking opportunities.
Internship Requirements
Both the MSSP program and the MSSP+DA program include a social policy internship. Students have the opportunity to practice their policy analysis skills and gain work experience through the internship which generally will take place during the summer (mid-May to August), although the timing is flexible to some extent. Occasionally a student will complete the internship during the fall or the spring semester. The internship is structured on the basis of individual student interests and past social policy experience(s). Internships may occur anywhere in the United States or in another country, whichever is best suited to the learning objectives of the student. In every case, the length of the internship is approximately 6-8 weeks and a minimum of 150 hours. The internship MUST be policy related.
Types of Internships
Internships span all types of agencies and organizations including for-profits, non-profits, governmental, and private foundations. The type of work is also varied and can include policy analysis, data analysis, research, advocacy, and communications.
Penn SP2-CHOP Data Analytics Fellowship Program
Beginning in the Spring of 2018, the School of Social Policy & Practice is partnering with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to offer the Penn SP2-CHOP Data Analytics Fellowship Program. This exciting fellowship opportunity will provide up to two MSSP+DA students the opportunity to work at CHOP employing big data analytics for child health policy and practice research. As one of the leading Children’s Hospitals in the United States, CHOP is on the forefront of developing and implementing cutting-edge data driven approaches to biomedical research, policy, and practice. Penn SP2-CHOP Data Analytics Fellows will have the opportunity to apply their policy and data analytics training with data that can make a difference in children’s lives.
This 12-week fellowship will be completed in the Spring semester of the second-year of the MSSP+DA program and will fulfill the program internship requirement. Students will be able to work either part-time or full-time with competitive compensation. The fellowship will begin toward the end of January so as to be completed by May 1 in time for May graduation. For additional inquiries, please contact Ezekiel Dixon-Román.
Penn MSSP-DHS Performance Management & Technology Fellowship
Beginning in the Spring of 2020, the MSSP program is partnering with the Philadelphia Department of Human Services (DHS) to offer the MSSP-DHS Performance Management & Technology Fellowship Program. This Fellowship will provide one MSSP or MSSP+DA student with the opportunity to work at the DHS Division of Performance Management & Technology, developing research and evaluation pertaining to child welfare policy at their Data Analytics Unit. The DHS Division of Performance Management & Technology is committed to promote safety, permanency, and well-being for children and youth at risk of abuse, neglect and delinquency by developing and maintaining integrated information systems and data analytics that can inform practitioners and policy decisions, and by conducting research to evaluate the effectiveness of programs. The MSSP-DHS Fellows will have the opportunity to apply their policy, research and evaluation, and data analytics training to improve services that impact children’s lives.
MSSP-DHS Fellows will complete at least 150 hours in the Spring or Summer semester in consultation with their advisor. The schedule will be determined by the Fellow and DHS staff with a preference for at least a 12-hour/week commitment. This fellowship fulfills both the MSSP and MSSP+DA internship requirement. For additional inquiries, please contact Dr. Azahara Palomeque.
CHILD USA Social Science Fellowship Program
Beginning in the Fall of 2020, the School of Social Policy & Practice is partnering with CHILD USA to offer the CHILD USA Social Science Fellowship Program. This opportunity will allow students to work hands on with a nonprofit think tank dedicated to ending child abuse and neglect. CHILD USA is the leading national think tank in this area, led by Penn Professor Marci Hamilton, whose legal career in changing the Statutes of Limitation for child sex abuse led her to create a nonprofit to tackle all kinds of abuse and neglect of children. CHILD USA uses the best legal and social science analysis and research to make recommendations on policies to better protect children. During this internship, Social Science Fellows will analyze data and conduct research on topics including but not limited to abuse in sports, statutes of limitation, conversion therapy, educational neglect, and child safety during COVID-19.
Finding an Internship
Before the internship search begins, students complete a student interest form and submit it to the Associate Director. The Associate Director will meet with the student to discuss possibilities and guide the process. There are several ways to find an internship:
- Review the listing of past internship sites on the SP2 website. There you will find a listing of previous organizations that accepted MSSP interns with some detail about the organization and their website address.
- All available internships that come through the MSSP office are emailed to students and then posted on the SP2 website.
- Students find out about possible internships through networking with friends, family, classmates, faculty, former employers, and other personal contacts.
- Students will research organizations they are interested in to see what internships might be available.
The more proactive students are, the greater their chances are of finding a good internship that meets their needs. During the search, students are encouraged to cast their net broadly and apply to many organizations. This will yield the best possible opportunities.
Internship Testimonials
“The Bipartisan Policy Center’s Housing and Infrastructure policy teams benefited tremendously by the added capacity Ben Chia brought to us over the summer. He was incredibly diligent and showed enormous self-reliance. Ben brought a sense of humor to our team meetings, sharing stories about his adventures in DC. The summer flew by, and we certainly felt a loss in productivity when our stellar intern had to return to his homeland of Singapore.”

“The Mayor’s Office of Community Empowerment and Opportunity is proud to partner with the Penn Masters of Science in Social Policy internship program. The MSSP students are smart, capable and ready to hit the ground running to help develop policy and create social change. In our office, interns led efforts to research best practices that will directly inform how we approach supports for soup kitchen meal guests, training around accessing IDs for vulnerable populations, and much more. Interns get on the ground experience on how to take what they have done in the classroom and learn to apply it to help combat poverty in Philadelphia.”
