Job and Internship Opportunities

Powered by the Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association (APAPA), the API NEXT State Capitol Internship is a professional and leadership development program. It is designed for students interested in skills and experiences to help advance their leadership skills in government, industry and community affairs. This program, taking place during the Summer, is unique because it places interns into offices in the Capitol and other elected offices, while providing interns opportunities to put into practice skills valuable and transferable in multiple industry sectors. 

The Colorado School of Public Health (ColoradoSPH) offers a variety of degrees and programs(opens in new window) that appeal to a wide range of interests related to public health. As one of the Top 20 Public Health Schools(opens in new window) in the United States, ColoradoSPH uses a three-campus approach to create greater resource, research, and mentorship opportunities than other public health schools. 

Student well-being is important to us, which is why we offer a variety of financial aid and scholarship opportunities(opens in new window). Also, as the only accredited public health school in the Rocky Mountain region, we are happy to offer in-state tuition to students within the Western Regional Graduate Program(opens in new window) (WRGP). Through the WRGP we can offer in-state tuition to any students who are residents in participating states. 

One program we’d like to highlight is the Master of Public Health in Community Health Education. Students of this program engage in practice-based learning that directly involves the surrounding community. Located at the University of Northern Colorado, this program is a great opportunity to build skills around community research and interventions.
