Make an impact on the national stage

Spend a semester or a summer in Washington, learning from people working in government, diplomacy and global affairs. You’ll visit agencies, embassies and think tanks, join high-level policy discussions, and get into rooms you wouldn’t otherwise reach. Everything you need to plan your time in DC is below, from what you’ll study and how to land an internship to what it costs and where you’ll live. Just finished high school? There’s a summer track for you, too.
