The program is an inter-disciplinary and in-depth study of a broad range of academic subjects examined within a political context. Learning takes place in the classroom, but more importantly, in the rich historical, artistic, cultural and political environment of the nation’s capital. Students focus on the American political process—what are the national political structures and methods, how do they function, and how do numerous stakeholders interact within those structures? The role of the media in various forms of political activity with a focus on political campaigning—differences between “old” and “new” media and how the media affect political outcomes, political forces, and the way we view political life? and the history of American art and architecture. Before the program begins, students select internships in organizations relevant to their academic major and/or desired career. During the program, the group participates in intensive group interviews with Washington politicians, lobbyists, and other professionals.
