Eastern Illinois University partners with The Washington Center (TWC) to offer immersive internship experiences in Washington, D.C.
During your semester or summer with TWC’s Academic Internship Program, you’ll engage in three main program components - a full-time internship, an academic course you’ll attend one evening every week, and career readiness programming with professional development workshops and opportunities to network.
Through your TWC experience, you would earn up to 15 credit hours for the semester or 9 credit hours for the summer.
Life in D.C. isn’t all work, though. Want to know what it was like for someone in your shoes? Hear from recent TWC alumni Kellie or Nicholas on some of what D.C. offers in your free time.
