WASHINGTON, D.C.: Grinnell-in-Washington (fall)
The Grinnell-in-Washington DC program (GIW) is the college's domestic branch campus located in the nation's capital. The academic program offers three courses and
an internship that may be used for major or cognate credit towards majors in a number of departments. The variety of internships available is almost limitless, from politics to environmental law to women's rights.
Students participate in internships for 10 weeks, from Monday-Thursday 8am-5pm. The courses for GIW consist of a policy making course, a course on internships, and a third course taught by a Grinnell faculty member. This third course changes every fall, depending on the interests of the faculty member. This program allows students to get to know Washington DC in depth through their classes and gain real-life work-experience through an intensive internship. Classes utilize the resources of the area to enrich and support the program. Extra-curricular activities, including concerts and dinners, are funded by the program. Many costs associated
with field trips are covered. Housing is provided in fully furnished shared apartments located in Alexandria, Virginia (about 40 minutes commute from central DC.) Eligibility: At least second-year student status. Minimum GPA of 2.75.
