Institute Internships
The Institute of World Politics is one of the few graduate schools that offers internships designed specifically to prepare you for a career in national security and statecraft. IWP ranks among the best internship programs in the Washington, DC area and is distinguished by its scholar-practitioners who served in past presidential administrations, including those of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.
Beyond conducting research with IWP scholar-practitioners, interns are able to explore career options by rotating within various areas of study and fields. Based in the heart of Washington, DC, interns gain the advantage of networking with top policymakers and government officials, including IWP’s faculty.
