Seeking 3L/4L Applicants to the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program:  APPLICATION OPEN FROM OCT. 1 – OCT. 15

If you’re interested in working for any branch of the federal government, the College of Law strongly encourages you to apply for the Presidential Management Fellows Program.

The PMF Program attracts to Federal service outstanding men and women from a variety of academic disciplines and career paths who have a clear interest in, and commitment to, excellence in the leadership and management of public policies and programs.  The PMF Program, administered by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), is the Federal Government’s cornerstone succession planning program to help agencies meet their critical need for leadership continuity.

Since 1977, the PMF Program has helped Federal agencies meet their workforce and succession planning needs by attracting outstanding master’s, law, and doctoral-level students to Federal service.  Executive Order 13318, modernized the Presidential Management Intern (PMI) Program, in keeping with the emphasis on the strategic management of the Federal Government's human capital.  With this Executive Order, the name was changed to the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program to better reflect its high standards, rigor, and prestige.  Students can use this two-year fellowship as a stepping stone to highly visible and respected leadership positions in the Federal Government.

This rigorous two-year paid fellowship includes:

       Formal classroom training of 160 hours,

       Mandatory four to six month developmental assignment,

       Optional rotations of one to six months in duration,

       Challenging work assignments,

       Potential for accelerated promotions, and

       Opportunities to network with other future leaders.
