Washington Leadership Program

The School of Public and Environmental Affairs offers the Washington Leadership Program each fall and spring semester in Washington, D.C. This program consists of two seminar courses (each worth 3 credit hours) and an internship (6 credit hours). Students complete internships by working four days per week in an assigned congressional office, public interest group, federal agency, or nonprofit organization.

Students reside and attend classes in Washington, D.C. Tuition is based on the regular fees for Indiana University, plus any special program charges. Students in the program remain eligible for any scholarships or financial aid they would normally receive as Indiana University students. For specific costs on tuition and room and board within the Washington Leadership Program, contact SPEA Career Services Associate Director Kathleen Hursh at .
