Washington D.C. Seminar
Students will begin their intern abroad program in Washington, DC where they participate in a fast-paced seminar featuring site visits, speakers, academic work, and other programming tailored to their respective programs. Ten days in length, the brief seminar equips students to look comparatively, through a variety of lenses, at their nation’s capital and the city in which they will intern and study abroad.
