The Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service (WIPPS) and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee are excited to announce that applications are open for the 2024 Washington Seminar, 3-week study away program in Madison and Washington D.C. led by Universities of Wisconsin faculty.

This immersive study away program, held May 28 to June 15, 2024, provides students the opportunity to see public policy first-hand and learn from executive leaders, lobbyists, and other policy influencers.

All majors are welcome, and meetings with policy influencers are tailored to reflect the research and career interests of students. Participants will earn three credits through the UW-Milwaukee College of General Studies that are transferable to other colleges and universities.

“This experience has been, without a doubt, one of the most immersive, thought provoking, socially challenging, and rewarding experiences I have ever had.” – Morgan, UW-Stevens Point

“By interacting with members of Congress, I learned how to see past the smoke and glamor of political figures and see them as human beings.” – Deon, UW-Stout

Applications will close February 1, 2024 and space is limited. The course fee of $3,330 includes tuition, airfare, housing, Metro pass, and one daily meal. Scholarships are available.
