The Washington Semester Program gives students the ability to intern full-time at an organization of their choice while still earning a full semester's worth of credit hours. Students apply for and choose their own internships that can then be used as credit towards their undergraduate degree.

While in Washington DC, students take two classes taught by UGA professors in DC; students take an elective class as well as a Washington Seminar. Students selected for the Washington Semester Program live in Delta Hall, UGA's residence Hall in Washington, DC.
