Through a combination of lectures, site visits, tours and special events this two week Academic seminar is one of the best ways for students to witness the impact of the political process on public policy and the critical role of the media in the political process.

 Inside Washington '10 is designed to give students the opportunity to gain and apply their academic knowledge in a participatory learning setting. The seminar is taught as a course, with two weeks equivalent to 3-4 credit hours (or 1-2 credits for a one week seminar).
