This unusual study away experience—offered in spring semesters and in a 10-week summer term—gives you weeks of field trips, research and small-group interaction with an array of Washington insiders. That is followed by full-time D.C. internships that professors help you arrange.

It’s an ideal program for students of all majors because of the diverse, on-the-ground academic experience and the internship opportunities in D.C. Over the program’s 20+ years, Inside Washington participants have interned everywhere from congressional offices to think tanks, news media to political consulting agencies, nonprofits to lobbying firms.
