The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars

The Washington Center offers internships and academic seminars for all majors in Washington, D.C. The Washington Center’s unique and comprehensive internship program and academic seminars enable college students to take full advantage of the resources of Washington, D.C. for academic credit. Whatever your major is, the Washington Center will find you a suitable internship placement. The Washington Center also offers housing and financial assistance to applicants who meet eligibility criteria. For University of Montana students, academic credit for Washington Center internships is available either through your major program or through the Davidson Honors College; when applying for a Washington Center internship, you must visit with your major advisor and/or DHC advisor to determine what course(s) will be most appropriate for specific internship placements. All applications to the Washington Center by UM students require the approval of James McKusick (Dean of the DHC), who serves as the UM campus liaison for the Washington Center.

Under the University of Montana’s affiliation agreement, students holding Washington Center internships will NOT be charged UM tuition and fees – rather, they will be charged a flat rate of $150 to record up to 15 academic credits for Washington Center internship courses on their UM transcript. Students will also be responsible for paying the standard Washington Center program fee and housing fee.

Good news for DHC students: the Washington Center offers scholarship support (up to $2,000) for interns who are members of an NCHC-affiliated Honors College.

Interested students are encouraged to meet with James McKusick; call 243-2541 to set up an appointment.
