The Seminars
The two 2026 seminars will be 鈥淛udicial Power and Democratic Governance" taught by Prof. O'Geen and "International Institutions and Global Governance鈥 taught by Prof. Crandall. Details of each seminar are in the program handout (PDF). Students will be asked if they have a preference, and we will try to honor your preference, but the co-directors reserve the right to assign students to a seminar to achieve rough balance in numbers.
The Internship
With the assistance of the Betty and B. Frank Matthews II 鈥49 Center for Career Development (Matthews Center), each student is responsible for applying and serving as an intern in Washington area offices. For more information about how credit is earned, please refer to the program handout (PDF). It's also useful to review the list of recent DIW internships.
