The John Glenn School of Public Affairs offers an exciting opportunity for Ohio State students to study and work in the nation's capital. The Washington Academic Internship Program selects outstanding undergraduates from any major to spend a quarter in Washington, D.C., as John Glenn Fellows. Students work in field placements that reflect their particular areas of academic interest.

While in Washington, John Glenn Fellows remain fully registered Ohio State students. Students earn academic credit hours for their internship, the research seminar in which a policy paper is developed, and a course on policymaking and public service in the Washington community.

Participants in the program meet policy professionals and interact with Ohio State alumni in the region. This interaction has value far beyond the quarter in which the students are involved in the program. Real opportunities are presented for career advice, professional development, and cross-generational exchange.
