The Washington Internship Program runs every semester and in the summer. The goal of the program is to place students in internship opportunities specifically tailored to their academic and career interests. Communications, political science and agricultural education courses are taught on-site where the students reside. Students may select from a variety of courses focused on the theme of communications and democracy, including agricultural leadership, legislative process, constitutional history, media and government, campaigns, elections, and the media, and the First Amendment and communications. The program is open to juniors and seniors in any major.
Interested students participate in a thorough selection process.
Students are selected base on interest, academic standing, writing samples, references, and an interview.
