Students also have access to excellent research resources in the Washington area. Thus, our expectations are high. We expect this research project to be among the papers you have dedicated the most attention to and are the most proud of as you look back on your undergraduate education. In addition, each student chooses one upper-division elective course from a range of classes offered by faculty in residence from all the UC campuses. These elective classes are 4-5 units each, and are in several disciplines, including selections from the social and natural sciences, arts and humanities.
All courses take advantage of Washington's unique resources for study and research.
Program administrators will help students find an unpaid internship placement in a Washington organization whose work is in the area the student wants to study. Here is a photograph of a group of UC students, including some from UCSC, meeting with Dianne Feinstein . Students are expected to work three to four days a week in the placement.
