The starting point is what you tell us you want to do. There are opportunities to suit nearly any major, interest area or career goal. If you can picture yourself working in politics, business, advocacy, journalism, the arts, international affairs, criminal justice, science, or technology, you can picture yourself interning in Washington, D.C. Whatever your goals for your career, The Washington Center will point you to a program and an internship site that give you an advantage in pursuing your dreams.

The InternshipThe core of The Washington Center’s offering is a substantive internship where you’ll spend most of your time on valuable, non-clerical projects. Opportunities exist in more than 1,000 internships sites including private companies in all sectors, government agencies, and nonprofit and international organizations.

Rich AcademicsOne of the many things that make The Washington Center special is its unique integration of academic and real-world experience. Each student takes part in both an academic course and a semester-long series of enriching opportunities to learn from world leaders, engage in the community, and better prepare for a successful career.
