<p>hmm the only university program that comes to mind would be Harvard’s Summer School Program. </p>
<p>There are about a billion (college-level) courses to choose from (when I participated I chose creative writing and philosophy), INCLUDING political science courses, I believe. It’s a 7-week program (and officially costs $10,000 [including room and board] but you can get a scholarship to turn that gigantic price into next to nothing :)]).</p>
<p>I can’t help you with the interning thing, as I, myself, have been trying (and failing) to intern at different organizations (including the UN) and have found it IMPOSSIBLE to do so because of my age 
It might be easier in the states than in Lebanon to try interning at your local governor’s office or something (?) I’d even look into internships with NGOs…</p>
