The Washington, D.C. Internship Experience

Theres no better way to launch your career than with a professional internship. In fact, interning is becoming a crucial step in landing that all-important first job. These days, nine out of ten entry-level hires have completed an internship. So its no surprise that the majority of undergraduates are making it a priority to complete an internship by the time they graduate.

But an internship is only part of the story.

One of the many things that make The Washington Center special is its unique integration of academics with realworld experience. We offer a wide variety of classes to complement your internship. Academic coursework extends your on-campus learning and may help you earn credit from your home institution. Youll also take part in our Leadership Forum, which is a structured set of activities that enrich your experience in Washington, D.C. It helps you understand leadership and the opportunity you have to contribute to your community locally, nationally and internationally. Its all part of our educational philosophy. One that integrates professional work, classwork and special programming in an overall learning experience unlike any other.

The Internship Programs

Every Washington Center student selects a program that is led by one or more professional program advisors who counsel, supervise and evaluate their students. Program advisors also organize activities during the days or half-days when students are not at their internship.

We offer the following internship programs:

Advocacy, Service & Arts Business & Global Trade Cordova Congressional Internship (students from Puerto Rico only) Ford Motor Company Global Scholars (students from selected countries) Governors (students from Mexico only) International Affairs Law & Criminal Justice Media & Communications Political Leadership Prudential Foundation Global Citizens (students from selected countries) Science, Technology and Society For students with undergraduate degrees or graduate students not wishing to receive credit: Postgraduate Professional Development Program
For descriptions of these and other programs offered, please visit www.twc.edu/ programs

Vice President, Managing Director mCapitol Management Having students join our team here at mCapitol Management for a semester gives us the chance to expose them to policy makers and other organizations that play a role in the political arena. We ensure that interns at mCapitol Management become a crucial part of the offices daily functioning and give them the opportunity to oversee and work on projects of their own.

Dr. Alicia Campi

Professor

U.S. and China in the 20th and 21st Centuries I teach Washington Center courses related to East Asian and Chinese history and Chinese-U.S. economic relations. The opportunity to work with Washington Center students from different backgrounds and schools has been a stimulating intellectual challenge for me over the years, and this fact, together with the ever-changing nature of the U.S. relationship with Asia, keeps the topics fresh and relevant. I am happy to say that I still hear from some of my former students now out making their own careers.

Washington Center Resident Assistant (RA)

When the students arrive each term, I ask a handful what their time in D.C. will do for them. Most guess that their internships will help further their studies and allow them to get real-world experience. As the semester comes to an end, however, I almost always find their answer has evolved beyond the academic and professional realms. Whether it was going to a salsa or Bollywood night, attending a baseball game or picnic, volunteering at a shelter, talking with their RA or spending time with their roommates and fellow residents, the students have learned and shared perspectives, found commonalities, discovered new interests and formed strong relationships.

Live in Washington, D.C.

Guaranteed Housing
One of the most exciting aspects of coming to The Washington Center is where you will live. Whether or not you choose our housing, you will have ample opportunities to meet fellow interns, have fun and explore one of the worlds liveliest and most engaging cities. Although most interns choose to live in our housing, you are not required to do so. You should be aware, however, that some scholarships are contingent on using TWC housing.

Best of all, you will live with TWC interns and get to know people from not only the United States but also around the world. You will participate in a variety of social activities, trips and adventures with your colleagues, and at the end of it all, you will have created solid and lasting friendships that remain long after completing your internship with TWC. Youll be living independently, but you wont be left totally on your own. Resident assistants (RAs), assigned to each building, are available if you need assistance. With its staff of Student Services professionals and RAs assigned to each building, The Washington Center allows you to be independent but also be assured that support is available 24 hours a day in case of an emergency.

The nearby area had enough shops and restaurants to satisfy any taste. I was able to develop lasting friendships with many other interns through the program, and together we had a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the nations capital.

Decision Making
Discuss credit and cost arrangements with your liaison. Consider timing (fall, spring or summer). Talk to your parents. Contact [email protected] with any questions.

Preparation
Review the checklist of supporting documents for the application. Identify letter of recommendation providers. Request transcripts. Con rm your liaisons approval.

Meet with your career services o ce to review your rsum. Identify your elds of interest for internship.

Program Costs and Scholarships

Although The Washington Center charges a program fee and a housing fee (see table at right), the more relevant consideration is your net cost of attendance (the total you will owe your institution and/or The Washington Center). You may find that a semester or summer with TWC is comparable in cost to what youd pay for the same term on campus. Follow these steps to better understand how much it will cost for you to take advantage of The Washington Center experience: 1. Confirm your institutions financial arrangement by speaking with your campus liaison and/or by contacting The Washington Center. Many affiliated institutions ensure that their students do not pay tuition on campus and TWC fees, but arrangements vary at each institution. 2. Explore whether your regular financial aid package can be applied toward TWC costs (or adjusted to account for any increased cost of attendance) and whether additional support is available at your college or university. 3. Review TWC awards listed online or contact us for more information. Approximately 75% of U.S. students receive financial support through a state grant or private scholarship to help offset their cost of participation. There are awards for civic engagement, professional achievement, diversity, and membership in honors programs or societies, among many others. 4. Apply. Your total cost may be impossible to determine until well after you are accepted, and sometimes may even be influenced by the internship offer that you select. Please note, if youre considering the Postgraduate Professional Development Program, you will not need to consult with your institution and will pay TWCs fees directly

Does the idea of building a professional network and interacting with nationally recognized figures like politicians, party activists, journalists, policy experts and campaign professionals appeal to you?

These fast-paced programs give you the opportunity to explore career paths and hear from national and international leaders.

Either way, through site visits, panel discussions and special events youll learn about the incoming administrations priorities, the confirmation of new cabinet members and the medias portrayal of the presidential campaign, for example. This seminar is ideal for social science and communications majors. Through our national security seminar, Top Secret: Challenges to National Security in a Global Society, youll explore the issues of U.S. national security in the context of the complex yet critical developments in the Middle East and other world hot spots. Perfect for international affairs and criminal justice majors, this seminar offers a behind-the-scenes perspective on how agencies such as the FBI and State Department work to protect U.S. interests at home and abroad. Youll engage with experienced professionals and conduct site visits to a variety of think tanks and government agencies.
