UC Washington Center

For students interested in studying outside of the Bay and developing their resumes, UC Berkeley, along with the rest of the UC campuses, offers them a chance to move to Washington, D.C., for a semester to study and intern through the UCDC program.

In order to finance UCDC, students can have their financial aid repackaged to cover a semester in Washington, apply for scholarships, save money from work or obtain a paid internship. 

The second annual #SpeechMatters conference — hosted by the UC National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 27 — focused on participation and protest on college campuses, but was interrupted by students protesting for a cost of living adjustment.

Here are some programs and resources that could help you get started in your study abroad search.
