The program is open to juniors and seniors (occasionally sophomores) in all majors through a competitive application process.

Students spend 24-32 hours each week at their internships. Washington, D.C. offers a wide array of internship possibilities, from working on Capitol Hill or in a government agency to interning for a major media outlet, a nonprofit organization, or a cultural institution.
If you're interested in applying to the UCDC program for Spring 2022, you have until November 26 to get your application in, but don't wait that long! Schedule an appointment with an advisor or attend one of the upcoming info sessions to learn more:

My name is Katy, and I’m an Intensive Psychology Major. I studied abroad in a multi-city experience called “London and Paris, Global Cities Urban Realities.” In classes, I learned about each countries’ food, culture, history, and more, over the course of ten short weeks with five weeks in each city. I chose a multi-city program for three reasons.

Who Am I Abroad (WHOA) is a student series of videos and articles exploring the shifts in perception of the self while abroad or away. The purpose of these stories is to highlight the international and domestic experiences of students and staff in relation to their salient identities.
If you would like to be connected with a study abroad alum who has participated in your program or country of interest and shares your identity, please submit the Connect with Alumni Request Form, and we'll follow up with you by email.

Where to Start With Study Abroad/Away? |

It can be intimidating when you're just starting to think about study abroad or away. There are a TON of options out there and it's difficult to know what your first steps should be. The Get Started webpage will walk you through the steps that you need to take.
If you'd rather talk to a human being, just schedule an appointment with an advisor. All of our advisors have virtual offices where you can find resources and schedule an appointment.
