The UConn Urban Semester program is now accepting applications for the Spring 2022 cohort.
Since 1968, the UConn Urban Semester program has offered a semester-long intensive internship and study away opportunity in the City of Hartford. Three and a half days a week, Urban Semester students intern in a Hartford-based non-profit or government organization. The program offers a wide variety of internship opportunities to meet the unique academic and career goals of students from diverse majors.
The program is a full 15 credit semester. UConn grants 9 semester credit hours for the internship. In addition to the internship, Urban Semester students are enrolled in two 3 credit seminars where students will examine the issues facing Hartford and explore the ways various programs and policies seek to address those problems. Throughout the semester, students link their internship experiences with social science theories.
Additional information about Urban Semester and applications are available through links on the UConn Urban Semester website [https://urbansemester.uconn.edu]. The application deadline is October 31, 2021.
