Why Washington?
CMCI in D.C. is ideal for students interested in an immersive study-internship experience away from Boulder without leaving the country.听
The nation鈥檚 capital is a juggernaut when it comes to all forms of media work, and is a hotbed for documentary filmmaking, journalism, government and nonprofit communications, and public relations. Here, the conversations in coffee shops, on the street and on the steps of the Capitol are all about the future of the country and world, and the innovations changing how information is shared.听
When you鈥檙e not at your internship or in class, you鈥檒l be encouraged to make the city your home. Shopping and dining in Georgetown? Unearthing trendy treasures in Logan Circle? Exploring historical and political landmarks? When it comes to Washington, D.C., you don鈥檛 have to choose. You鈥檒l discover the city鈥檚 world-class museums, restaurants, galleries, monuments and stadiums as you immerse yourself in this incredible city.
A customized experience
While CMCI students take courses together in Washington, D.C., there鈥檚 much more to this program than just classroom learning. A big part of that is the custom internship that鈥檚 curated for each student. That begins during the application process, which includes interviews with CMCI faculty and representatives from the Washington Media Institute. Interviews ensure students are prepared for the academic rigors of the program, while also establishing each student鈥檚 experience levels and career aspirations. That helps determine the right fit between each student and the countless employers who extend our students internships in communication, media and information roles. Students go on day trips and excursions together to feel comfortable in their new settings, but each participant also is encouraged to explore independently.听
