UC Washington Center
In summer 2013, the UC Washington Center is offering several seminars that focus on Washington politics and policy among other Washington-specific topics. Instructors include UCDC scholars and policy experts who will work with students in small classroom settings to help them deepen their knowledge of a variety of topics and sharpen their writing and critical thinking skills. Courses are offered on weekday evenings to allow students the flexibility they need to earn units while also interning full-time in Washington. All courses are offered through the UCLA Summer Sessions office, with classes starting on June 24th. We look forward to making the summer academic program a positive experience for all students. For more information about the UC Washington Center, visit the UCDC website.
Curriculum: Courses are open to all UC and non-UC students. Visit the Curriculum page for more information about the courses available and enrollment instructions.
Fees: Please visit the Summer Sessions Fees page for complete details. Students pay per unit fees, IEI fees and registration fees (if applicable). UC students participating in this program are not subject to the UCLA campus fee.
Payment Deadlines: Please consult the UCDC payment schedule for details.
Fellowship: The fellowship provides assistance to UC students who participate in the program through their home campus and enroll in UCDC academic courses. The goal is to help students define citizenship, advance public policy and promote public service. For the application instructions, click here. The deadline to submit all required materials is May 6, 2013. Please submit your application materials by email at UCDCsummersessions@ucdc.edu.
Financial Aid: Financial aid is available to UC students. UC Students should check with their home campus for financial aid eligibility requirements and deadlines.
Housing: UC students who have satisfied all UCDC application requirements established by their campuses and admitted to the program through their home campus will be assigned housing in the UC Washington Center. For campuses without a summer program (UC Santa Cruz and UC Merced), please contact Chantal Quintero at chantal.quintero@ucdc.edu. Housing for visiting non-UC students is potentially available on a first-come first-serve basis, space permitting. Please contact UCDCsummersessions@ucdc.edu for more information.
