Internships
Washington, DC provides extensive opportunities for internships that cannot be replicated anywhere else. GW students have a unique opportunity to explore a variety of career options during their undergraduate experience and can work directly with the kinds of professionals they will become. Because of the breadth of internship possibilities offered, GW students obtain paid internships, professional-level assignments, volunteer positions, and internships for academic credit while still in college. Leads for internships come from our well-connected faculty, GW’s Career Center, GW's alumni network, and fellow students.
