Winter October 1.
Students begin applying for the Dublin program a year in advance.
There is usually a waiting list by the deadline. This program extends over two quarters, however, it is possible to participate for only one quarter. The internship provides an insiders' perspective of the Irish government that could never be gained from a classroom lecture. Past participants have prepared speeches and press bulletins, acted as liaisons with the media, and researched legislative proposals. The fall quarter also offers a week-long field trip to the European continent to visit the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development headquarters in Brussels, Belgium and Paris, France.
