In the past, students have interned at amazing organizations such as: 

·  Edelman Public Relations

·  The Georgetowner Magazine

·  NBC Universal

·  Levick Strategic Communications 

·  BBC

·  NPR

·  Sirius-XM Radio

·  Smithsonian Magazine

…and many more exciting media organizations.

What will I gain from a semester in Washington?  
Our focus is based on one thing, making sure our students are prepared to compete in not just today’s media, but also tomorrow’s. Our students walk away with a professional portfolio of work, an in-depth understand of how the media works and a great network of contacts.
