Federal Semester and Global Semester in DC still Accepting Applications!

Think a career in government and public service is only for government and politics majors? Think again! Federal agencies, nonprofits, think tanks, and policy-related organizations are interested in your quantitative and analytical skillsets as they confront pressing issues. The Federal Semester Program and the Global Semester Program in Washington D.C. offer you a chance to take your skills out of the classroom and apply them in the real world.

Both programs combine a fall seminar in an issue area with a spring internship in Washington D.C. Some of our concentrations include Science Diplomacy, Homeland Security Policy, and Responses to Global Challenges. Past internship locations include: U.S. Census Bureau, National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy, and Department of Treasury. Year-round activities include trips to Capitol Hill and federal agencies, professional development workshops, and conversations with policymakers.
