Intern Program in Washington, D.C.

WLU is a partner with The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars, a Washington, D.C. based organization that provides internships and academic seminars for our students in governmental, corporate, international, and nonprofit organizations in D.C. The Washington Center has more than 37 years of experience providing a challenging academic environment and a working internship experience. Students spend 10-15 weeks in Washington, D.C. and are required to spend four-and-one-half days per week at their internship site, take a three-hour course, attend a Presidential Lecture series, and participate in an 8-12-hour community service project. For this internship experience the students earn 9-12 hours of academic credit. This invaluable experience equips students with the skills needed to secure their first job. It provides students with a wide network of contacts and exposes them to a variety of job opportunities.
