"After living and working in Washington, D.C., I’ve been able to learn from professionals in the field, witness democracy in action, meet people I admire, and be a part of the news and political process.”

One of Washington's top academic and internship programs, IPJ has provided undergraduates with the ultimate Washington, D.C. summer experience for the past two decades. The Institute selects many of the best undergraduate journalism students in the country to attend this Institute each summer, where they attend classes in economics, ethics, and leadership and also serve in internships with major news organizations. Participants also attend regular briefings at principal news sites such as The U.S. House of Representatives, The White House and The State Department.

With a single application, students are enrolled at Georgetown University, live in a furnished apartment on campus in the center of D.C., and are placed in a competitive internship for eight weeks.
