We're migrating to a new application portal!
During our transition period, we request that students not start any new applications in Horizons after June 1, 2025. Students with active applications in Horizons will have their information migrated to the new system automatically. The platform will experience projected downtime from June 30 through July 8, 2025 before the new platform is launched.
In our Washington, D.C. program, students of any major have the exceptional opportunity to spend a fall semester in the nation’s capital. Although D.C. is a city centered around politics, it is also home to a breadth of organizations in a variety of industries. Students will take courses and fulfill internships, gaining real-life experience working in: government, nonprofit, environmental, media, and communication organizations; arts, humanities, and educational institutions; social advocacy groups, businesses, economics and trade firms; and law and criminal justice agencies. The internship experience is an integral part of the Washington, D.C. experience. In the past, students have interned at renowned companies and places such as the White House, U.S. Agency for Global Media, C-Span, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of State, embassies in the D.C. area, and PBS’s To The Contrary—just to name a few.
