Semester in Washington, DC
Roanoke College sponsors a one-semester program in
Washington, DC through the Lutheran College Washington
Consortium. Students live and work in the Nation's Capital.
They take two one-unit academic courses and a two-unit
internship in the office of a member of Congress, a
government agency, a non-profit organization, a museum, a
theater, or other challenging positions designed to meet the
student's needs and interests. In addition, they participate in
field trips, lectures, cultural activities, and community service.
This full semester program is available in the Fall and Spring
and is open to Juniors and Seniors in most academic
disciplines. During the summer, the program makes housing
available for students who have secured their own internships.
