Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law offers a special program for second- and third-year law students. This program helps students acquire deep and practical expertise in their areas of professional interest, get an insider's view of legal and policy developments in the nation's capital, and develop experience and connections that will be valued by employers in the Washington, D.C., area and elsewhere.

The program will help students identify and apply for externships in government or non-profit organizations of interest. Students will partake in the College of Law's "Externship Program" academic component and will also enroll in courses taught by College of Law faculty in Washington, D.C. Courses will focus on subjects such as federal legislative and regulatory advocacy.

Students will receive a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 15 credit hours, including up to nine credit hours for the externship itself. Students will generally earn three credits per course. Most students will take one or two courses.  Students accepted into the program will pay all standard tuition and fees required by their enrollment at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law and are eligible for financial aid through the law school.
