Debate/Forensics
Washburn has a long-distinguished competitive debate program. Parliamentary
debate and individual events are the current focus of the program. Scholarships
are available.
Internships
Internships are granted to only the most qualified and academically prepared
student. The student who has achieved maximum benefit from classroom experiences
can then apply for 1-3 hours of internship credit. Guided by both the
advisor and the intern's supervisor, students might be placed in a work
setting such as a bank, non-profit agency, personnel department, governmental
office, or political office for on-the-job experience.
