Student Opportunities
There are opportunities inside and outside the classroom to expand your knowledge and skill set. Make connections between topics and with other students by joining campus organizations.
Find the Perfect Opportunity
Internships
- Participate in an internship in Washington, D.C. through The Washington Center. Depending on your placement, you could attend hearings, conduct policy research, draft correspondence, monitor legislation, lobby members of Congress, or write analytical reports.
- Arrange your own internship experience through your own connections, or by tapping into the Center for Career Development’s extensive network.
Research
- Complete a Senior Capstone Experience (SCE), a year-long independent research project in the form of a thesis. Your SCE topic should overlap with your other areas of interest and be something you’re passionate about, like a simulation, literary critique, development of a product, or arguing the intrinsic value of something.
- Create your own research project. Support, financial or otherwise, is available across campus, including through the Hodson Collaborative Research Program or the Cater Society for Junior Fellows.
To get started thinking about what research you might be able to do at Washington College, review our faculty’s areas of expertise.
