The Graduate Public Service Internship Program (GPSI) is expanding to offer paid graduate student internships with state government agencies in the greater Chicago-area. Starting in August 2020, admitted students will complete their UIS master’s degree online while completing their Chicago-based internship. Vyvyan Wesley, currently an online student in the GPSI program says, “The chance to be part of a program that allows you to gain experience in government, receive a monthly stipend and provides a tuition waiver is unique.”
