The Washington Internship Program, organised by Professor Don DeBats at Flinders University, is unique amongst the course offerings of Australian universities. Successful applicants to the Program are placed in institutions associated with the national government of the United States for seven weeks. The most frequent placements are in offices of United States Senators or Representatives; placements are also available with Congressional committees, public policy organisations and corporate government affairs offices. The Program enjoys the enthusiastic support of the US Embassy in Canberra and the Australian Embassy in Washington.
