Washington Semester Program
Administered by the Honors College, the Washington Semester Program gives students from colleges and universities across the state the opportunity to spend a semester interning and studying in Washington, D.C.
Our Students Learn Everywhere
What you do beyond the campus of the university is as important as what you do in
the classroom. Internships also help build foundational skills important for your
career endeavors. An internship can open doors, help develop career plans and help
a student make great contacts for the future. Some internships may also evolve into
full-time employment opportunities.
