SNC’s relationship with American University in Washington, D.C. lets you participate in policy and international trade seminars and internships through the Washington Semester program. Another fantastic resource for our economics students is the The Center for Business, Economics and Analytics (CBEA), offering experiential research opportunities, presentations like the annual State of the Economy event and paid internships.
