The Colleges of Arts & Sciences, UH Manoa
Washington,
D.C. Internships
Since 1998, the Colleges of Arts & Sciences of the University of Hawai'i at
Manoa have sponsored undergraduate students in Washington, D.C. internships.
Beginning with only one student the first year, we now typically send three
students annually to spend the fall semester at either The Washington Center for
Internships and Academic Seminars or The Smithsonian Institution. Students
remain enrolled at UH Manoa and put together programs with their major advisers
that allow them to receive up to 12 academic credits while they intern in
Washington, D.C.
The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars is
dedicated to offering colleges students opportunities to experience first-hand
the workings of our government while maintaining progress toward their degrees.
Their motto is "A Call to Public Service." Students are placed at a wide
variety of governmental organizations like the EPA and NIH, at not for profit
advocacy groups like the NAACP and Amnesty International, at media and arts
organizations like CNN and the Kennedy Center, etc. Students live in dorms
provided by The Washington Center, and attend weekly seminars, in addition to
working 4 days a week as an intern and earning UH credit.
The Smithsonian Institution is the grand repository of our national
history and culture. Students are placed according to their interests in a
wide variety of internships. Recent students have worked in the
Asia-Pacific collection, the Popular Culture collection, and the Medical Museum.
Students live in dorms provided by The Washington Center, and work full-time as
interns, while earning UH credit.
The cost associated with these semester-long internships come to
approximately $10,000 per student including roundtrip
airfare, room and board in D.C., a monthly stipend, and a tuition waiver.
The internships are possible through the generous support of the following:
- Hiram L. Fong Endowment in the Arts & Sciences
- National Capital Region Chapter of the University of Hawaii Alumni
Association
- Francis & Sarah Sogi Endowment at the Smithsonian Institute
