UCLA Career Center

National Internship Program
The UCLA National Internship Program was created to provide students with an opportunity to work with elected officials, government agencies, public interest groups, international organizations, and a wide range of other public and private enterprises. Internships have been arranged with the White House, U.S. House of Representatives, the Senate, California Legislature, CNN, Amnesty International, and a host of other organizations.

Internships to Washington D.C. are offered every quarter throughout the year. Internships to Sacramento are offered only during the summer. We also assist students with placements to other locations in the United States, mostly during the summer.

It is required that each applicant attends an information meeting or workshop in order to become familiar with operational details of the program.
You must apply at least two quarters before you plan to begin your internship. For example, if you want to intern during the summer, apply by winter quarter.
