The program combines learning from Cornell’s faculty and gaining real-world internship experience at a D.C. firm of the student’s choice. Life in Washington, D.C. is a stark contrast to life in Ithaca. City life, and specifically life in D.C., creates a different set of challenges and also deals an entirely new hand of opportunities. In D.C., opportunities for internships, networking and exposure to the inner workings of government and politics abound. In contrast to D.C., Cornell provides a slower environment, and the unique and spirited student body creates a student-centric scene, which is often missing in the hustle and bustle of D.C. and the wide range of ages and backgrounds among city residents.
