Summer
Spend your summer living, learning & interning in D.C.
In Summer Cornell in Washington, you’ll work full-time at an internship in D.C., take 1-2 Cornell courses, and have signature D.C. experiences.
D.C. is arguably the best place in the world to have a summer internship; you’ll find abundant opportunities for any interest from government, law, economics, and social justice to health/medicine, environment, international affairs, media/communications, and the arts. CIW staff will help you identify the best opportunities and ensure that your internship applications are competitive.
In addition to attending your internship during the day, you’ll take at least one four-credit Cornell course in the evening.
On the weekends, CIW offers unique D.C. experiences, such as visiting Smithsonian museums, catching a Nationals baseball game, and attending a performance at the Kennedy Center.
You’ll live in comfortable apartments (each with its own full kitchen and private bathroom) and take your class in the Cornell owned-and-operated Wolpe Center, in the lovely and centrally located neighborhood of Dupont Circle.

CIW in the summer is very different than CIW during the academic year as there is far more free time to take a real break and explore some part of ourselves outside our ‘normal academic patterns.’ I left DC with this other-worldly knowledge of career options and a greater understanding and appreciation for my own personal and academic/career development outside of the common pre-med track.
