Internships

An education at Georgetown University means more than learning in the classroom- it means taking advantage of all that Washington, D.C. has to offer. Internships are an exciting part of living in the nation's capital for any student. Most MAGES students hold an internship during their time in the program, especially during the summer months between their first and second years. Flynn Summer grants of up to $1500 can be used to defray the cost of taking internships between the first and second years of the MAGES program. Students take both paid and unpaid internships while in the MAGES program.
