Ithaca College's Washington Center is a natural focus for students interested in learning and experiencing first hand the political world in the capital of the United States. Many politics majors spend the semester at the Washington Center, taking courses on many aspects of US politics and working in internships in many different governmental and nongovernmental organizations. 

Politics students have in recent years done internships in the following places:

  • Center for American Progress
  • ACLU Prison Project
  • DC Central Kitchen (an organization devoted to feeding the homeless)
  • U.S. State Department
  • Beyond Nuclear
  • Institute for Policy Studies
