Internships

There are many organizations that offer internships. We strongly encourage students to identify potential areas of interest and possible internship sites or organizations before applying and to discuss their internship interests with an advisor in the Cal State DC Program.

Internships can be with nonprofits, advocacy groups, congressional offices, executive agencies, museums, security firms, business groups, political parties, artistic organizations, news and media companies, and a variety of other offices in and around Washington, D.C.
