Washington Semester

WASH 390. The Washington Semester Internship (6-12)
The Washington Semester program supplements classroom learning with practical knowledge, by providing work experience in agencies and organizations in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Each intern works four full days a week in a setting that is matched to the student's skills, interests and career goals. The program is open to all majors, provided the student has a 2.5 GPA and has completed one-half of the requirements for graduation before the beginning of the internship. Other requirements are detailed in the Program's norms and procedures, copies of which are available from the Washington Semester program coordinator and the department chairpersons. All Washington Semester interns must also register for WASH 391.

WASH 391. The Washington Semester Seminar (3)
Open only to registrants in WASH 390. This interdisciplinary seminar meets once a week to examine American society through analysis of one or more basic concepts from a variety of academic perspectives. It provides a larger framework of understanding for participants in the Washington Semester internship experience. Members of the seminar write a major research paper.
