Interns have been placed in over 500 offices and agencies across the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Students intern in the legislative, judicial and executive branches of government. Other internships are in the arts, social services, science and the environment, business and economics, international affairs, law, journalism and communications, and with public interest research groups. American Studies Program interns are available 20-30 hours per week for 14 weeks during the fall or spring semesters. The students are required to keep a daily journal and meet periodically with American Studies Program faculty who monitor their internship to ensure a quality learning experience. The student's monitor also maintains regular contact with the supervisor at the intern's placement.
