Washington DC Internship Program

Students who participate in the DC Internship Program have the opportunity to gain valuable professional experience by interning in our nation’s capital, an important center for international studies, communications, political science, journalism, business and the arts and many other endeavors. All majors are encouraged to participate, and because students intern for an organization of their choice, there are many opportunities for students to customize the experience to their needs and goals. 

Students will receive 4-6 units of elective credit for their DC internship. This is in addition to any other coursework that they wish to complete while in Washington.
