About the Program
UAlbany's own Semester in Washington program is supervised and taught by one of our full professors, Michael J. Malbin. Malbin has more than 25 years of experience in Washington: in the legislative and executive branches and as a reporter, think tank scholar and director of a nonpartisan research institute.
The program is offered during the spring semester by the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy's Department of Political Science. It is open to students of all majors. Students combine an internship with seminars and earn fifteen credits toward graduation. They also can earn six credits toward a major in political science or public policy, as well as credits of varying amounts toward other majors.
Early applications are accepted in the spring for early admission for the following spring. The final application deadline is in mid-October.
