This part of the site describes the academic expectations and standards at The Washington Center. A core part of TWC's program is the rigorous academic coursework all interns are required to participate in. TWC offers its students up to 50 course offerings to choose from each semester, which are all taught by TWC’s associate faculty.

Academic course offerings vary from one semester to another. Factors that affect course availability include student interest, instructor availability, and resource scheduling. Availability can also change in the weeks leading up to a semester’s start. If you select a course that is later cancelled, you’ll be notified of your options.

Internship Course Drop/Add Form

Please complete this form if you have a compelling reason to change the course to which you were assigned. If you need to change courses, you must first call Academic Affairs (202-238-7975) to determine if there is an opening in the course you would like to add. Be advised that you are obligated to attend the first meeting of both the course to which you were assigned and the new course that you wish to add. If they meet on the same night of the week, make sure to speak with both instructors about the situation and attend the assigned course. You must notify the instructor of your assigned course that you intend to drop and you must also notify the instructor of the course you intend to add. If the course you want to add is already full, you must remain in your assigned course.
