Welcome
The Semester in Washington is a bridge between the classroom and the rest of your life.
An integral part of the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy's Department of Political Science, the program is designed to be both a capstone and a launching pad. As one of our students, you will:
- Meet political leaders.
- Get an inside view of government.
- Develop the tools you will need to launch a successful career in any field.
- Enjoy one of the nation's great cities.
And you will do all this while taking small seminars and working closely with a senior faculty member on work that will grow out of your own interests.
The program is open to UAlbany juniors and seniors. For basic information, see:
