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 haven’t registererd for GOV 312L, we encourage you to consider this unique opportunity with the WCP.
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 Jacob Bradt and a mandatory trip to Washington, DC during the week of May 11-15, 2026. The unique number for this GOV 312L section is 38255.
Cost
Enrollment fee: $1,350
The enrollment fee covers the program in Washington, D.C. and is substantially cheaper than that paid by MBAs.
Students are required to pay for airfare and lodging for the five days in Washington.
