Academic Internship Program: The Washington Center
The Washington Center (TWC) is the largest independent, nonprofit provider of experiential education programs in the United States. With its academic internship programs and seminars, TWC brings together exceptional and dedicated college students and civic, governmental and business leaders, hundreds of colleges and universities, scores of public and private employers, and more than 50,000 alumni. Founded in 1975, today TWC is a unique educational center based on a fully integrated mix of professional experience, academic coursework and real-life challenges.
The Washington Center offers two types of programs:
Internships
Semester and Summer term integrated academic and work experiences in government, corporations and nonprofit organizations. Each internship program is tailored to provide meaningful work experiences that will provide participants with the skills needed after college. Most internships are in Washington, D.C., where students take academic courses and attend special programming.
Academic Seminars
Participants have the chance to delve into the key issues of our time and interact with the experts behind them. These one- to two-week programs give participants an insider’s view of current events and access to important organizations that takes them to the places and puts them in front of the people they've learned about in their classrooms.

If you're open for a challenge and an exchange that offers you more than travelling, making new friends and exploring a new culture, I can strongly advice The Washington Center. For me this was a huge opportunity to get a taste from the professional life in the political and diplomatic center of the world and to make connections you can't make anywhere else.
I would also want to emphasize that the application process before leaving is quite intensive, but completely worth the effort.
