The Maryland General Assembly Legislative Intern Program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to work directly in legislative offices during the annual legislative session, which begins the second Wednesday in January and continues through early April. Throughout the 90-day session, interns gain firsthand experience with the daily operations of a legislative office, witness history in the making, and develop a deeper understanding of Maryland’s democratic process through serving the state’s residents.
The Legislative Intern Program matches students with state senators, delegates, committees, and caucuses. This internship opportunity has been particularly popular with UMBC students and has helped many recent graduates find their first post-graduation employment opportunity.
The application deadline is October 15, 2025.

The Maryland General Assembly Legislative Intern Program requires prospective interns to have a faculty sponsor. At UMBC, Dr. Mileah Kromer is available to sponsor students from any major who are interested in this opportunity. Students seeking sponsorship should email Dr. Kromer at mkromer@umbc.edu to request a meeting. Political Science majors may also earn academic credit for their internship through POLI 448 Internship in Policy, Politics, and Administration.
