IU’s O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs proudly offers the Washington Leadership Program each fall semester in Washington, D.C. The Washington Leadership Program is a unique opportunity for talented undergraduate students to receive in-depth exposure to key policy makers and government officials in our nation’s capital.

Select Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors from all majors on the Bloomington campus and O'Neill SPEA majors at other IU campuses are eligible to apply. This program consists of two senior-level seminars (each worth 3 credit hours) and an internship (worth 6 credit hours). Students complete internships by working four days per week in an assigned congressional or senate office, trade association, or federal agency, or in a health, environmental, or nonprofit organization.
