About the MIT Washington Summer Internship Program
The Washington Summer Internship Program, sponsored by the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT) Department of Political Science, provides technically oriented
undergraduates the opportunity to apply their scientific and technical training to public
policy issues.
MIT students work at a minimum of two months in policy-related internships at various
organizations in the Washington, DC area. Participating organizations include federal
government agencies, congressional offices, think tanks, and advocacy groups. Program
staff and participating organizations assist students in identifying internship possibilities.
Participating students receive stipends by the program. In some cases, students receive
salaries by their internship host. The program also requires students to attend a seminar
on the policy-making process. Students must be enrolled as an undergraduate at MIT and
meet other eligibility criteria to participate.
