Internship Interns carry a variety of responsibilities, including researching, writing, and attending and reporting congressional hearings. In addition, students may be responsible for general office organization and upkeep. The most successful interns are competent at working individually or in group settings, and are committed to learning as much as possible from the experience. Students working for academic credit work four to five days per week (32-40 hours) to allow time for academic and research obligations.
Internship Internships with Early Deadlines Because of the need to satisfy a security clearance, some internship deadlines occur before Washington Program deadlines. These organizations include the Department of State, the Department of Defense, and the White House. Once a student has officially committed to an internship organization, he or she is not permitted to rescind his or her commitment.
