Capital Hill Internship
Simpson College is a founding member of the United Methodist College Washington Consortium, the CHIP program. CHIP provides an ideal environment for those students interested in melding theory and practice. Students spend either the Fall or Spring semester in Washington, D.C. working in an internship. In addition, students participate in two seminars for credit. Students live in a 3-story, brick townhouse leased and operated by the Consortium, and there is a full time director in Washington who administers the program. The Consortium also operates several programs, some for college credit, during the summer.
