At the heart of this immersive program is your internship, where you’ll work full-time at one of D.C.’s top media, government, political advocacy or communications organizations. This means giving the best of yourself each day in a society-changing nonprofit, bustling newsroom, lobbying firm, national think tank or a congressional office. We guarantee an internship placement that advances your career ambitions.
Your courses are in your residential facility, with an auditorium and seminar classrooms just steps away from your apartment. You attend faculty expert seminars that provide insights into real-world topics in public policy, law, media, international relations, trade and security. Also, your internship will lead to your creating an e-portfolio that allows you to highlight your developing skills and professional work for future potential employers and graduate schools.
Whatever drives you, one thing is certain: in this city, you’ve got options, and boredom is never one of them. You’ll also have the benefit of 24/7 support. Seminar courses are taught by faculty with years of experience in politics, criminal justice, global affairs and communications.
