Washington Campus Program
OVERVIEW
In spring 2014, McCombs' BGS Department, in conjunction with The University of Texas Government Department, began offering a special section of GOV 312L that includes an educational experience with the Washington Campus Program (WCP) in our nation's capital.
In recognition of the tremendous impact that politics and regulation have upon the environment in which companies do business, the WCP has for 35 years provided educational experiences to more than 20,000 MBA students, including many from McCombs.
If you have not yet registered for GOV 312L, please consider this unique opportunity with the WCP!
PROGRAM DETAILS
During an intensive week in Washington D.C., students will hear from and interact with leaders from every sector of the Washington power circle. Typical speakers include Senators, Representatives, Congressional staffers, senior policy advisors at Fortune 500 companies, presidents of think tanks, influential lobbyists, and leaders of federal agencies. Past speakers have included Vice President Dick Cheney, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, and (then) Senator John Kerry.
Curriculum
The class is composed of four sessions in Austin with BGS Professor Jeffery Patterson and a mandatory trip to Washington DC during the week of May 23-27, 2022. The unique number for this GOV 312L section is 37830.
Cost
Enrollment in the course carries a $1,250 student fee to pay for the programming in Washington, DC, which is substantially cheaper than that paid by MBAs. Students must also pay for airfare and lodging for the five days in Washington, which we will assist in lining up.
