We offer hundreds of internships and numerous courses year-round, fall, spring, and summer semester/quarter, for students of ALL majors. Interns are provided with fully-furnished apartments throughout Northern Virginia, Washington D.C., and Maryland (as well as in London and Mexico). Participants may intern at such prestigious agencies as The White House, CNN, PBS, Amnesty International, Department of Defense, The Smithsonian, US Attorney’s Office, Red Cross, Merrill Lynch, The National Institutes of Health, the EPA, and hundreds more. Interns also complete an academic course (selected from over 40 offered) and participate in a variety of career and professional programming and other activities through our Leadership Forum.

The Washington Center has a strong affiliation with Indiana University and many students participate in our program every semester/quarter. Attend our information session and discover the life-changing experiences that your fellow classmates have had.
