BACKGROUND INFORMATION

USP seniors are required to complete 100 hours of internship service between September 2011 and March 2012. Students typically work 10 hours per week for ten weeks. The internship component of the USP major is part of an intensive, six-month long (fall-winter) field research practicum called the Senior Sequence. Our students learn how to design and conduct use-inspired, problem-solving and solutions oriented research. Students also learn how to communicate their results with the public using multimedia. Their work goes on display (posters and video) at our well-attended annual Urban Expo. Our interns are well trained, highly motivated, and especially eager to get hands-on practical experience.

Details about our USP program can be found on line at: http://usp.ucsd.edu/
