Washington Semester
The Washington Semester Program offers Penn students an opportunity to learn from first-hand experience in the political and governmental process while taking courses taught by Penn faculty in the nation's capital.
Although designed primarily to fit the needs of social science majors, the program may be suitable for science and humanities majors with serious interest in public policy, politics and government.
The program features 4 c.u. of study, a research project, and an internship in an organization or agency related to the student's career and research interests. This program operates in many respects like a semester abroad.
