The Walt
Disney World College Program invites you to spend a semester living,
learning and earning at the most magical place on earth -- the Walt Disney
World Resort. Students are selected throughout the country and from around
the world to live in a multi-cultural environment while focusing on educational
and career development. This program is offered to full-time students
of all majors, who are in good academic standing
What is the Disney College Program? This unique program
is a paid internship that feels and functions like a semester abroad program
in a world-class learning environment. While many similar internships
in entertainment, hospitality, and retail are unpaid part-time positions
where you rarely get a chance to apply your knowledge and training, Disney
has designed a program where you learn tried and true business practices,
and then take those ideas and apply them to a full-time work environment.
What if you're not interested in business? Only a few students
are actual Business majors, and I can relate. I am a double-degree student
earning my bachelor's degrees in Architecture and Theater Design. I admit,
I was skeptical about taking much away from the College Program in terms
of business strategy. However, the truth is that I use Disney's principles
of business excellence in my work environments every day. When I work
for the Performing Arts Center, I use the same principles of customer
service and guest satisfaction that I learned in my time with the College
Program. Even with my fellow students, the service mentality I picked
up with Disney makes me a valuable team player and potential leader.
This is a program for any college student at any level. I have
dozens of stories that justify the time I invested in the program. I worked
far away from any outside influence and I could really focus on my career
goals. Disney offers hundreds of classes every semester to teach the College
Program students about their possibilities for a career, and not just
within the Disney Company. Disney is interested in producing the successful
professionals of the future
Have the oppurtunity to work at Disney World and earn college Credit.
