Overseas
Practicum
Fall:
The Balkans
Spring:
Northern Ireland
The overseas practicum, seminar,
internship, and research components of your semester
intertwine to give you a comprehensive, eye-opening
look into peace and conflict resolution.
While visiting the Balkans,
or Northern Irelandyou meet with policy makers and
other professionals, each of whom presents different
points of view on the conflict in their areas.
The overseas component is
vital to your learning experience in this field.
Your professor will guide your class through a meaningful
and insightful tour of a country torn by strife
and the process of healing and recovery. Students
often describe the overseas component of their semester
as "life changing" and find career inspiration
in their experiences.
*Washington Semester
reserves the right to alter the overseas practicum
location if necessary.
