All majors are welcome to apply.
When will recruiters be visiting schools?
We visit schools in the Southern California area each Fall and Spring. In the
fall, we recruit for our Spring program only. In the spring, we recruit
for our Fall programs only. The campus visits consist of a presentation
that provides more detailed information about the program and the ability to
interview with a recruiter immediately after the presentation, over the
telephone, or the following morning.
If students miss the presentation at their
school, can they still interview?
Yes. Students may attend a
presentation at another school, or they can
view the presentation online.
Should I bring a cover letter and
résumé to the interview?
It is not necessary to bring a
résumé to apply for the Disney College Program. However, students
may bring them to their interviews if they wish.
If students are not accepted the first time they
interview, can they try again?
A student is more than welcome to apply
and interview during the following recruiting season (the following semester).
However, students can apply and interview only once per semester.
