professional experience and earn course credit while serving four days a week as a student intern in a host office in Washington, DC; (2)
enroll as a full-time student in classes taught by Loyola faculty; and (3) experience life for an entire semester in the unique setting that is our
nation’s capital: Washington, DC. The application deadline for the inaugural fall 2016 semester is April 1. Interested in taking part or

by the student and the internship coordinator. The intern also takes part in a special seminar that meets four times during the semester and
keeps a journal and writes a research paper related to the internship experience. Students need the permission of the internship coordinator to

international organizations, such as Loyola’s Model UN Club. The application process begins in late September and ends in late October.
