How would you like to take a semester off from college and spend it Walt Disney World or Disneyland? How would you like to also have a place to live, interesting roommates and an income to go along with it?

The Disney College Program is a unique opportunity for college students to gain work experience at the most magical place on earth. College students in the Disney College Program have the opportunity to work at Disney Theme Parks and Resorts while living in a multicultural and multinational community. They also have the opportunity to take classes which may transfer into college credits as well as network with leaders of a Fortune 100 company. When you combine a magical work environment, an exciting living environment and experience that will look great on your resume, you just can't lose!

To participate in the Disney College Program, you must jump through a few hoops.

The first thing you need to do is view a video presentation (which can be done online or on campus).

Following are the application requirements:

1. You must be enrolled either full-time or part-time in a U.S. college or university and have completed one semester. College seniors may apply to participate directly after graduation and graduate students may also apply.

2. You must meet your school's requirements for participation. Many schools vary in their requirements for G.P.A., grade level, and credit hours earned. In case you're wondering, your school will be contacted by Disney representatives to verify your eligibility.

3. You must be at least 18 years old.

4. International students must have unrestricted work authorization.

In addition to viewing the presentation online, the application can also be completed online here.

The Disney College Program is one of the best internship programs around comes with the kind of benefits that college students really need: housing, income, college credits and free admission into Disney amusement parks!

I have a question. Does you're major in college have anything to do with the chance you get a job. And can you get a job just for the summer, rather then take a semester off.
