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 students’ 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. Information is available on campus through Dr. Todd Peppers (Department of Public Affairs, 540-375-2423, peppers@ roanoke.edu) or Dr. Nancy D. Joyner, Dean, Lutheran College Washington Semester (1-888-456-5292), dean@washingtonsemester.org.
