The Santa Cruz UCDC Program is now selecting undergraduates to participate in its Fall 1999 Quarter in Washington Program. Santa Cruz sends approximately 20 students to Washington, D.C. each Fall and Spring Quarter. The program offers an exciting opportunity to combine course work with field research and work experience in a variety of areas.
Students divide their weekly schedules between classes and a part-time field placement position.
They are registered as UCSC students and earn academic credit for the courses taken. All participants pay UCSC registration fees and remain eligible for financial aid if regular UCSC standards are met. In determining eligibility and calculating the amount of financial aid, the University has agreed to adjust student expense budgets to compensate for the additional costs expected while in Washington. The quarters in Washington are extended to approximately 12 weeks, usually a little longer than the UCSC quarters. This seminar features group meetings and tutorial sessions related to the student's internship placement.
