Our D.C. address makes us ideal for students who want to pursue politics. In fact, studying politics in the nation’s capital is like a four-year networking fair. Our students can go from interning at the White House on a Monday to listening to lectures given by the Speaker of the House on a Friday, to volunteering at a federal agency over the weekend.
Instead of studying and living in a college town, our students get to study, live, intern, and network in a cosmopolitan city with no shortage of things to do and places to see. With our very own Metro stop right in the heart of the nation’s capital, students have easy access to a wealth of impressive internships, political organizations, and 175 Embassies.

How cool would it be to study politics and also land an internship at the White House or on Capitol Hill? Our students get internships where politics happen, in the heart of D.C. Past students have interned at offices and agencies including the Speaker of the House, the Department of Justice, and the White House.
