Is this for me?

Inside Washington students are usually in their second or third year at Miami when they arrive in D.C.

Range of majors we see most often: Political Science, International Studies, Journalism, Media & Culture, Economics, Strategic Communication, Social Justice, American Studies, Environmental Science, Statistics and Education. Others welcome, of course!

Students typically have a mix of experiences on their resumes that might include: volunteering on a political campaign or government initiative; a campus leadership position; summer internship for an agency or business or nonprofit; involvement in Miami’s Government Relations Network; active role in campus political group; service work for a special interest group.

What classes prepare me?

Below are the courses we expect participants will have completed by the time they arrive in D.C. Applicants who cannot meet these goals should contact Inside Washington Co-Director Annie-Laurie Blair.

How do I apply?
