Washington, D.C. is widely recognized as one of the most vibrant cosmopolitan cities in the world, offering a diverse array of professions (private, public, and non-profit), history, cultures, and extra-curricular activities. Students or graduates who work in the nation's capital will enrich their college education with a unique opportunity to see first-hand how different interests come together.

For either a summer or a semester, a student can intern in a governmental office, a public policy center, non-governmental agency, research organization, lobbying group or private company. UTSA students from all academic disciplines are encouraged to participate.
