Spend up to 20 hours a week on the job at a meaningful internship in any major, including the sciences, the arts, and pre-professional programs.

Life in DC is a community experience, including shared meals and household responsibilities. You’ll live with up to 15 students from EMU and other Mennonite colleges. Through sharing space and experiences, students come to know one another and themselves in surprising ways. Students build interpersonal communication skills and learn about conflict resolution strategies during group meetings. And the newly renovated WCSC house in Brookland, a working-class neighborhood, is just four blocks from the Metro.

WCSC’s inter-disciplinary weekly seminars focus on social problems, faith issues and urban experiences through reading and writing, the arts, field trips, and group discussion. Guest speakers, internship visits, and history and arts tours are part of the weekly course, taught by longtime WCSC professors Kim Schmidt and Doug Hertzler.
