Federal and Global Semester applications open! Get Credit for a Washington Internship.

Want college credit for a Washington internship?  Interested in global or domestic issues?  Intrigued by the idea of a career in public service?  Apply now to the Federal Semester Program or the Global Semester Program in D.C.!

In both programs students take a fall-semester seminar from industry practitioners in one of several concentrations covering foreign policy, diplomacy, homeland security, energy and environment, and science in a global context. In the spring semester, students intern at federal agencies, congressional offices, think-tanks, nonprofits, and related organizations.  Past internship locations include Department of State, embassies, Department of Homeland Security, National Institutes of Health, Environmental Protection Agency, the White House, U.S. Helsinki Commission, and many more.  Activities include trips to Capitol Hill and federal agencies, professional development workshops, and conversations with policymakers.  NOTE: you may count the fall seminar as an Honors course!
