Working under the close supervision of seasoned professionals provides a unique opportunity to learn about the challenges and opportunities of a particular field. At Washington College, internship opportunities may include working for government agencies, private industry, or nonprofit organizations. Along the way student interns can earn academic credit for up to four courses.
Most internships are open to juniors and seniors who have been approved by their departments.
Upon completion of the internship, the professional who oversaw the internship will submit a written evaluation and the faculty supervisor will award a grade. All course work earned through the internship counts toward the degree. Examples of internship opportunities that provide academic credit to participants are listed below.
