The Citadel in DC Program is a 10-week academic and internship program. Students will be living at a host university in DC, interning at various locations around the city and experiential learning about DC through interdisciplinary coursework. Cadets earn a total of 6 course credits during the 10-week program; 3 credits of a cross-curricular, experiential learning; 3 credits towards an internship. The Citadel in DC Program is supported by The Citadel Club of Greater Washington, D.C. Our partnership with alumni provides students with the opportunities to engage in their professional development, as well as, shadow and network with alumni and gain valuable career advice.

The internship is an opportunity to gain real-world experience, engage professionally and to open future opportunities in a competitive market through networking and professional development.
