The Quarter in Washington Program (UCDC) program offers an exciting opportunity to combine UC courses with field experience.

Students live at the UC Washington Center for up to 11 weeks, dividing their time between coursework and a parttime internship placement. Students choose from a variety of UCDC seminars with topics relevant to Washington, such as Congress or the Supreme Court. At least one optional additional course is usually offered each quarter. All courses take advantage of the unique resources of Washington for study and research.

UC Washington Center administrators help students find an internship. Placements have included C-SPAN, the Human Rights Campaign, the Department of Justice, Smithsonian museums, the Wilson Center, and various members of Congress.
