Federal Semester and Global Semester Programs - For best consideration submit applications by April 6th!

Think a career in government and public service is only for government and politics majors? Think again! Federal agencies, nonprofits, 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 knowledge and skills out of the classroom and apply them in the real world.

Apply now to Global Semester in Washington D.C. or the Federal Semester Program!  Apply by April 6 for first round consideration!

Join a lively, engaged, and motivated student community!  Both programs combine a fall seminar in an issue area with a spring internship in Washington D.C. Our concentrations include Science Diplomacy, Homeland Security Policy, Health Policy, and Global Challenges. Past internship locations include Department of Energy, U.S. Census Bureau, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, and Department of Treasury, among many others. Year-round activities include trips to Capitol Hill and federal agencies, professional development workshops, and conversations with policymakers. The programs also feature one-on-one assistance in writing resumes, obtaining internships, etc.
Students who successfully complete program requirements will earn a notation on their transcript!
