Our Story
The Lutheran College Washington Semester (LCWS) is an immersive and transformative study-away program designed to provide students with a unique opportunity to learn and intern in the nation's capital. We believe that learning extends far beyond the confines of a traditional classroom, and our program is built on the principle that experiential education is the key to unlocking personal and intellectual growth.
​
We strive to connect students with internship opportunities to help provide real-world experience to further their educational and professional goals. We also strive to prepare students for life after college and to make them more active citizens in their communities.
​
​LCWS is open to students from our partner institutions. We work exclusively with small, liberal arts colleges and predominantly with schools sharing a Lutheran heritage. We encourage you to explore their websites to learn more about each school.
