For many years the Political Science Department has been sending students to Washington D.C. and to the United Nations. These programs have proved to be very beneficial through the years, there is no better place to learn about Politics than in D.C. or the United Nations.
Programs are also available in China, Africa, Spain, France, Mexico, Germany, and England.
Due to an agreement between Valparaiso University and the American University, Washington, D.C., students are able to spend a semester of their junior year studying at American University. This program is designed to give students and first hand experience on a broad range of governmental and Political activities in Washington through field visits, consultation with officials and evaluations sessions led by academic instructors. All of these will qualify for full credit toward graduation from Valparaiso University. To apply you will need to speak with your academic advisor. The fee is the same as the cost of a semester at Valparaiso University.
