.jpg) Our core program, initiated in 2003, works this way: Students work full-time at internships that are arranged with their career goals in mind. They take three courses for academic credit, including a course on Economics and Public Policy and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Course on Constitutional Principles. They also attend private briefings at many of Washington’s most important institutions and interact with some of the nation’s most prominent figures. During the first summer, students focus on classes, internships, meetings with inspirational leaders, and bonding with the other young men in their cohort. Professional development, character development, mentorship, and graduate school preparation are priorities for the second summer, although students still work full-time and take a seminar with the Institute's president.
The program runs from the first Sunday in June until the last Saturday in July and is a two-summer commitment. Housing is paid for by the Institute, while students are expected to pay for their transportation and food. Students not placed in paid internships receive stipends to help cover living expenses. |
