How to Apply

SELECTION CRITERIA & APPLICATION

Students from all majors are encouraged to apply. Admission is competitive. To be eligible for consideration, students must:

• Currently be a junior or senior (although sophomores from natural sciences and engineering majors may also apply).
• Have a strong academic record
• Complete an application form
• Provide strong letters of recommendation (if possible from faculty rather than TAs or employers)
• Clearly articulate how this program fits into their academic goals

Admission will be based upon the student's statement of purpose, academic record, letters of recommendation, and in some cases a personal interview. Consideration is also given to the distribution of academic disciplines participating in the program. Participation in UCDC changes the way in which a student meets residency requirements for a degree. Contact your college academic preceptor for more information.
