The Washington Center recognizes that institutions awarding academic credit for student participation in its programs expect, at a minimum, the same level of quality that the institution provides its students on campus. To ensure the quality of offerings and to meet accreditation standards, the senior vice presidents, director of academic affairs and Academic Council of The Washington Center keep abreast of campus requirements and expectations and review its programs accordingly.

The Washington Center works hard to make its program affordable to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. For some students, the cost of participation is comparable to what they pay at their home institutions. For others, the cost is higher, but still within reach and reasonable for an experience of this type in the nation's capital.

Internships are individually tailored to offer each student a substantive work experience in Washington, D.C. TWC’s internships are supervised by professional program advisors, most of whom have master’s or doctoral degrees and extensive experience in their fields.

The Washington Center maintains ties with more than 1,000 placement sites, many of which are longtime partners. All internships are substantive and challenging, and at least 80% of the student’s work is non-clerical.

The Washington Center requires that students earn academic credit. This credit is granted not by The Washington Center, but by the student’s home institution. The Washington Center provides professional supervision and evaluation of the students’ work (in the form of written evaluations and suggested grades), but the college or university retains full academic control. It determines which students may attend our program, and the types and amounts of credit—as well as the grades—they receive.

The following are a few of the hundreds of institutions that partner with The Washington Center to provide internship and seminar opportunities to their students:
