"Words alone cannot express the value of this summer. I have been enlightened, entertained and prepared for a great number of things in my future. The summer changed my life, my plans, and my perspective on it, and left me better prepared to handle the great challenges ahead and my own ambitions."

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.
