The Washington Semester Program
Otterbein College is a member of the Washington Semester Program, an exciting opportunity at American University in Washington, D.C. that offers 13 different programs for full credit.

Students in this program live in our capital for a semester while taking part in this once in a life time opportunity. Three days per week are spent on "seminar activities", which include field trips, reading assignments, discussions, debates, class presentations, and over 50 lectures by guest speakers. The other two days are spent performing an internship in an area of your choosing. You might find yourself interning for a senator, the Department of Justice, or CNN.
