Academic Courses

Classroom learning in a real-world context.

One night each week, you’ll take an academic course. You’ll choose a course from a variety of options, so you can fulfill a requirement for your major or delve deep into something you’ve always been interested in.

Many of our course instructors bring a mix of academic and professional experience, so they are great to learn from and network with.

"My communications course focused on the volatile nature of social media and the challenges companies can face when managing their reputation. Thanks to the experiences gained from this course, I’ll be more aware of possible communication crises that can arise."

Lauren Munroe, interned at D.C. Bar Foundation.
