Carnegie Mellon University's Washington Semester Program (CMUWSP)

From embassy headquarters to nongovernmental organizations, think tanks to advocacy organizations, and consulting firms to media outlets, Washington, DC, is a focal point for many international and public policy activities.  Undergraduates from any course of study who would value firsthand policy experience are invited to apply to Carnegie Mellon University's Washington Semester Program (CMUWSP), sponsored by the Center for International Relations and Politics.  In this semester-long program, students live, work, and study in Washington, DC,  coming into direct contact with political, business, and community leaders and learning about the most pressing policy issues of the day.

The Center for International Relations and Politics sponsors policy events and forums for CMU students in Washington to further enrich their course work and internships and to enhance their understanding of how the U.S. capital functions as a hub of international and public policy decision making.
