Credits and Billing

  • You can earn a full semester's worth of credits from Occidental during the fall and spring semesters:

    • 8 credits for the internship

    • 4 credits each for the Core Course and Internship Seminar

      • During the summer, most Occidental students participate for the experience and do not receive credit.

  • You pay what you normally pay to attend Occidental to participate in our program during the fall and spring semesters: your financial aid travels with you to DC.

  • During the summer, you pay our program and housing fees directly to WII.

Consult with your faculty advisor and Occidental staff to determine your credit and billing arrangements.
