Transfers: Register for Internship Eligibility Once You Have 30 New Paltz Credits
Transfer students, you should apply for internship eligibility once you have 30 New Paltz credits.

- 60 total credits
- 30 credits at SUNY New Paltz (can be in progress)

In this application you will; answer some simple questions about your understanding of the process and preferences you may have for your internship. You will submit a resume and progress report.

A small policy research unit in the Office of the New York State Comptroller in Albany that specializes in local government finances and other issues affecting local governments is currently recruiting candidates for permanent entry-level positions. For these positions they are looking for people who are interested in policy research on local governments, who are comfortable working with data (cleaning, analyzing, presenting findings in charts and tables), and who also have excellent communication skills—especially writing. They are using the state’s “HELPS” process, which means that candidates do not have to have taken civil service exams or be on a civil service list to be hired. The positions they are looking to fill require a college degree, including some quantitative coursework. The link below has the details. These jobs are in Albany, New York.
The job posting is set to expire on Friday, but they plan to extend the deadline until mid-October. They also expect to post a second position with the same qualifications and job duties in the near future. We encourage you to apply, even if you do not expect to graduate until the spring. Good luck!
