Pursing an academic internship in DC is a great experience for all majors. You will learn about yourself and your academic and career interests. You will gain solid work experience, insight into your professional goals, and an understanding of the policy world in Washington. Whether you are interested in communication, international affairs, the environment, politics, or a host of other topics, there is an organization in Washington that works on the issues you care about or uses the skills you are developing for your future career. 



LUC in DC allows undergraduate students to live in Washington, DC for fall or spring semester, interning full-time four days a week while taking Loyola classes. Students develop tangible professional skills and lasting networks while enjoying the politics, culture and history of our nation’s capital. You will experience life as a young professional: working, networking and attending events.
