The professional world demands more from today's
graduates than just a diploma. Employers expect
education to be accented by real-world learning,
hands-on job training and proof of experience. To outfit
their students with the tools, skills and competencies
necessary to excel in our rapidly changing world, more
than 500 colleges and universities, both public and
private, partner with The Washington Center.
Many partners view TWC as an extension or satellite
campus of their institution. Students remain enrolled
and receive credit from their home college or university
while living and learning in Washington, D.C.
Creating unique
learning experiences
beyond the classroom
e Washington Center met all of Lone Star Honors College's needs when
we were looking for a U.S. option for our capstone experience. e resources,
connections and access TWC put at our disposal made it a reality for us. TWC's
wraparound adaptability ensured the programming was customized to fit into
our curricular plans, allowing us to grow and change as we learned what works.
e program has become a huge highlight for our students and we are looking
into expanding some internship opportunities through TWC.
