To get a great start on a career, you need two things: practical professional experience you can put on a resume and contacts who will help you get your first real job.  At American University’s Washington Semester Program, you get both. And you get it in one of America’s most exciting cities.

Whether your interest is in American politics, economics and international business, international affairs, journalism and new media, or justice and law, we help you find an internship with an organization that is doing innovative work. We team you up with a professor who will take you around Washington to introduce you to some of the key players in your field. And we mix you with students from all over the world.

By summer’s end, you will have new direction for your life and your career. You will have solid professional job experience. You will have met people who are willing to help you progress. You will have talked with leaders in your field. And you will have enjoyed the bountiful resources of Washington, D.C. that will make this an interactive learning opportunity. And you will have new friends all over the world.

The Washington Semester Program is the most personalized, productive and enjoyable way to earn academic credit. It is the best possible investment in your future.
