There are currently five progressive internship opportunities that are planned to begin in January 2022 for the duration of one to two years.

The Progressive Internship program is a partnership between Saint Paul CollegeMetropolitan State University and Ramsey County, Minnesota. The program is structured to provide a two-year experience across a student's transfer from Saint Paul College into a four-year program at Metro State.

Interns will also have a chance to interact with other students in the program and expand their network within Ramsey County government.

Interns typically work 10 -20 hours per week. only students from Saint Paul College or have transferred from Saint Paul College to Metropolitan State University may apply. Direct questions to Ramsey County or internships@metrostate.edu or victor.cole@metrostate.edu.
