The UCDC program offers qualified students from all majors the opportunity to spend a semester in our nation's capital. Students will combine an internship in their area of academic interest with field research and coursework taught by University of California professors on site.

While in Washington, students will live at the University of California, Washington Center, located in central D.C. The center houses 250 students from nine of the University of California campuses, along with the University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, University of San Francisco, and Washington University in St. Louis.
