How busy is the schedule?
The Georgetown Institutes schedule is rigorous and gives students a rich immersion in education, politics, and government — the true Washington experience of a lifetime. Days are long, lasting up to ten hours with internships and classes. Free time is limited mostly to the late evenings and weekends. During the eight weeks of the program, you will have an intense internship, course, and lecture schedule, so be prepared to be busy. Because of the limited duration and intensive schedule of the Institute, we highly discourage long distance travel by participants or visits from friends or relatives during the week.
