The centerpiece of the program is the internship, which can be selected from a stunning array of possibilities. The seminar is taught by a professor from the student's home campus. The course features group meetings and tutorial sessions related to the student's research project. In addition, each student chooses one upper-division elective course from a range of classes offered by faculty in residence from all the UC campuses. These electives are offered in several disciplines, including selections from the social and natural sciences, arts and humanities.
All courses take advantage of Washington's unique resources for study and research.
The Washington Center also features special programs for students tours of historic sites, trips to Philadelphia and New York, and guest speakers.
