If you have ever dreamed about working at the Disneyland or Disneyworld resorts as well as earn college credit, now is your chance to hear about joining the Disney College Program.

On Thursday March 17 from noon to 1 p.m. in the Career Center (Craven 1400), students who have previously been a part of this program will discuss and show videos explaining different jobs and internship opportunities through the Disney college program. The program, which celebrates its 30th year, allows students to earn college credit by working, living and taking a selection of classes at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim or at the Disneyworld Resort in Florida. Participants in the program will have the opportunity to meet people from all across the country, establish transferable skills and explore multiple opportunities at the Disney resorts.

The program allows students to work and learn at the same time in a very unique setting. The program’s sessions run only in fall and spring and do not offer a summer session. Because of the nature of the Disney program being very hands on, housing opportunities are available for both theme parks. Depending on which program a student may choose, it could last four to six months. There are a wide variety of jobs to choose from through the Disney College Program such as attractions, Bell Services at the theme parks hotels, hostess, character, concierge, costuming, custodial, food and beverage, hospitality, housekeeping, lifeguard and merchandise. The Disney College Program also allows students to continue their work at Disney with professional internships.
