The Government and Public Service Internship in Washington D.C. takes place every fall, spring, and summer semester. Interns are placed in office based on their interests in issues, experiences, knowledge and personality. These students work full-time in legislative offices and are considered an integral part of that staff.  More than 450 Texas Tech students have traveled to Washington D.C. as a part of this program. The program has gained the reputation of being one of the top collegiate internship programs on Capitol Hill.
