All research projects require hard work and commitment. You must take one other course. The courses change each quarter. A current list is given to each student at the campus orientation. There are at least six courses from which to choose during fall and spring quarters.
Winter quarter offers a more limited selection.
Courses are taught by UC San Diego, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara and UC Santa Cruz faculty in residence, as well as visiting faculty from the Washington area. Students have numerous chances to hear guest speakers in their courses and at special events held at the Washington Center. Activities also are organized to see historical sites, attend cultural events and the like. For example, tours have been organized at the Smithsonian, Mount Vernon, National Monuments, and day trips to Gettysburg, Annapolis, Monticello and Harper's Ferry. Students participating in the UCDC Program from all UC campuses will be housed in the new UC Washington Center, which will be open in Fall 2001.
