Curricular and Co-Curricular Opportunities

Learning within the Williams School extends beyond the walls of the our classrooms. Williams School faculty and students participate in a variety of special curricular and co-curricular programs. These include programs combining high-level internships in our nation's capital or NY with challenging courses taught by Williams School faculty assisted by an array of distinguished guest lecturers. We offer a range of non-credit bearing programs that allow students to actively engage their passions. These range from planning and staging the largest collegiate mock political convention in the country to actively managing a significant portion of the University's endowment to providing consulting services to a range of businesses and not-for-profit organizations.

  • Mock Convention

  • New York Program/International Commerce
    During the Spring term, students work full time as an intern in any of several firms or government offices in New York.

    Students in their sophomore year are eligible to compete for internships with companies in a variety of industries.
