Washington Internships
The Washington Internship Program
The Political Science department and the Bob Schieffer College of Communication partner with The Washington Center to provide a semester-long, academic internship experience in the nation’s capital. The program includes placement, supervision, evaluation, seminars, housing, special events and other support services.
The TCU Washington Internship Program is open to juniors and seniors in any major field. Minimum requirements include a 3.0 GPA. Journalism and strategic communication majors will work through the College of Communication and all other majors will work through the Political Science department. The application process begins a year in advance. Depending on their major, students earn 12 – 15 hours of upper-division credit, with 6-9 hours for the full-time internship plus one or two courses (3 – 6 credits) taught by The Washington Center. Students will complete a Credit Approval Form with their academic adviser to determine how these credits may satisfy departmental or University requirements.
