Capital Semester allows students to spend 15 weeks earning 12 transferable course credits at Georgetown University while gaining valuable work experience at a top D.C. organization.
As part of the experience, Capital Semester students attend exclusive briefings at various sites around Washington, such as the White House Complex, the U.S. Capitol, State Department, Federal Reserve, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Students meet
leaders and government officials, hear from policy-makers at regular guest lectures, and interact with D.C. professionals through networking activities.
Students may apply to one of two tracks, in which internship placements and academic study will correspond:
- Public Policy
- Political Journalism
With a single application, students are enrolled in courses at Georgetown, housed in a furnished residential building and are placed in a competitive internship for a fall or spring semester.
“Capital Semester provided me with priceless opportunities and unforgettable experiences. Take this opportunity to change your life - it is well worth it! ”
