UGA DC Semester Program

I talk to many students who state that the Washington Semester is not appropriate for them because they are not interested in politics or are not majoring in political science or international affairs.  This is a myth that at times seems impossible to break.  There are not only many paths to Washington; there are many destinations.  We need skilled people in our nation’s capital in all fields and there are not many better cities than Washington, DC to pursue a career.   

Case in point- The Chronicle of Higher Education’s Editorial Internships.  Aspiring journalists can work for a well respected news source and have a unique experience that would stand out on a resume.  Did I mention that this is a paid internship?

Bottom line- The Washington Semester Program is for you if you major in polical science, journalism, biology, landscape architecture or one of the 140 other majors at UGA.
