Earn Credits in the Nation's Capital and Gain Valuable Work Experience

The University of California offers qualified students from all majors the opportunity to spend a term in Washington D.C. Students combine an internship of their choosing with academic courses taught by visiting UC professors and accomplished Washington professionals. Participants receive a full term of course credit in addition to work experience and a front row seat to national policy making.

Students live at the UC Washington Center, an 11-story building located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, about a five-minute walk from the White House. The center contains classrooms, faculty offices, and apartments for approximately 250 students from nine UC campuses as well as the University of San Francisco.

UCDC information sessions happen the second Tuesday of every month during the academic year. Registration is required to attend these virtual information sessions.
