Study Domestic

Live, work, and learn in two of America's largest cities through Quinnipiac University's programs in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. In D.C., aspiring professionals in communications, political science, and business can access top media companies, PR firms, and government agencies. Alternatively, in Los Angeles, students can gain hands-on experience in the entertainment industry, home to major film studios, sports franchises, and media networks. Wherever you choose, you'll apply your learning, develop professional skills, and discover more about yourself along the way.

Make lasting connections across the country

At the heart of these programs is your internship where you'll work full-time at one of the city's top organizations. We guarantee an internship placement that advances your career ambitions. You'll work along side of veteran professionals and mentors, gaining variety of industry knowledge and tangible skills.

Outside of work, your growth only continues against the diverse backdrop of each location. Hang out with roommates at the Lincoln Memorial or visit famous LA landmarks like the Hollywood sign. Whatever drives you, one thing is certain: in these cities, you’ve got options, and boredom is never one of them.

While both programs are fully immersive experiences, you are not without a support system. You’ll be housed in a central location with your program peers, and have access to a full-time program director. With a regularly expanding library of contacts at their disposal, the director will put you in touch with all of the personal and professional resources you may need.
