A View Into Washington
Throughout your brief stay in Washington, D.C., you’ll often have an insider’s access to the intersection of society with areas such as policy, international affairs, science and politics. You’ll also have the time to, independently or with other seminar participants, explore Washington, D.C., a city rich with cultural diversity, historical significance and artistic flair.
Each academic seminar will take you to places you’ve only seen in pictures, but you’ll also have an option for free time to explore the city on your own or with other students. Take in the impressive architecture, incredible museums, or a good meal from any corner of the globe. Go to a world-class performance at the Ford Theatre or take in music and dance at the Kennedy Center. It’s a fascinating city with innumerable ways to expand your learning and enhance your entire Washington experience.
