SBS in DC is an exciting internship program that is offered in the fall semester and the spring semester, connecting UMass Amherst College of Social & Behavioral Science majors with UMass alumni working in Washington, DC. The program has proven to be a stepping stone for students interested in careers in fields like policy, non-profits, international development, strategy, marketing, PR, government, campaign work, and more.
Program participants live together as a cohort in DC and complete a semester-long internship. Students also participate in a class related to their major and have professional development and networking opportunities with UMass Alumni and professionals in their fields of interest. Alumni mentor students at internship sites all over DC. Students will earn 12-15 credits for the semester.
Any SBS majors who will be sophomores, juniors, or Seniors at the time of the program are welcome to apply. SBS in DC is a selective program, with a limited number of spots available. We are looking for applicants who are serious about representing SBS in DC with our alumni and hosts.
