From embassy headquarters to non-governmental 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 university’s 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 will sponsor policy events and forums in Washington for CMU students participating in the program to further enrich their experience and enhance their understanding of how Washington functions as a hub of international and public policy decision making.
