UC Washington, D.C. (UCDC) Summer Internship Program
The UCDC Summer Internship Program (Summer UCDC) sends outstanding undergraduate students to live and intern in Washington, D.C. for 10 weeks each Summer. Students have the opportunity to live and take classes (optional) at the UC Washington Center in the heart of D.C., just blocks from the White House. UCDC is a great opportunity for students to examine the behind-the-scenes activities that shape and implement our nation’s future course.
Admitted students work closely with program staff to develop competitive application materials, apply to internship positions, interview successfully, and secure meaningful internships. Students from ALL majors are encouraged to apply as Washington, D.C. offers numerous internship opportunities in various fields and industries.
