Dates and Deadlines
Please note: Admissions are handled on a rolling basis. For your individual status, feel free to contact the director. For summer, some select slots will be kept open until the final deadline, but early applications will be considered and encouraged as well - so, feel free to submit as soon as you know you'd like to be considered for summer term. We often get more applications than we have slots available, thus, early applications are encouraged for summer. For Fall and Spring terms, we can usually notify applicants closer to their application submission.
Regardless of which semester you spend in D.C., you must also meet the Washington Media Institute's housing deadlines.Ìý
