Participating Academic Programs
The following campuses participate in the academic program of the UC Washington
Center.
Students from these and other campus programs spend a term in residence
at the Center working and studying in the Washington DC metropolitan
area. As interns with Congress, the Federal Government, research
and advocacy organizations, the news media and through a host of
other opportunities, students gain firsthand exposure to the American
political process while attaining valuable work experience. Students
enrolled during the academic year take courses at the Center to
fulfill the academic component of each campus program. Many write
and present comprehensive research papers based in part on their
internship experiences.
