Washington Program: Applicants

Claremont students spend either the fall or spring semester in Washington, D.C., where they work a full-time internship, take three academic classes, and meet with prominent people in and around politics.

The calendar in Washington generally corresponds to the Claremont Colleges academic calendar. Course work takes place in the evening and classes are held at the CMC facility. Interns sometimes get time off from their office work to attend special lectures, hearings and other activities. The amount of time devoted to such experiences is determined by each office and no office is required to provide it.
