Disney College Program Eligibility

To qualify for application, you must meet the following criteria: 

  •  You're at least 18 years old when you submit your application. Your 18th birthday must fall on or before the date you apply. 
  • You're currently enrolled at an accredited college or university in the United States or the United States territories and actively working toward an Associate's, Bachelor's, or Graduate degree*. Not sure if your school is accredited?  Search the U.S. Department of Education's database at ope.ed.gov/accreditation. 
  • You graduated from an accredited college or university in the United States or the United States territories* within the last 12 months of this job posting. Already have your diploma? You can still apply. The 12-month window is measured from the date the application becomes available — not when you apply or when the program starts. The application date is listed in the title of the job posting. 
  • Before your program start date, you must have completed at least one term at your college or university (or a minimum of 6 credit hours) towards your degree.  Credits must have been earned after graduating high school or earning your GED. Whether you're full time or part-time, you're eligible- as long as those credits count towards your degree. 
  • You're in good academic standing at your school. Some schools require a minimum GPA or advisor approval before you can participate in an off-campus program. Check with your academic advisor before applying — Disney's approval doesn't override a hold your school places on your participation. 
  • You have valid work authorization in the United States for the full duration of your program. U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, green card holders, and F-1 students with valid OPT or CPT authorization are all welcome. If you have a different type of employment authorization that will be valid (unexpired) for the duration of the program dates you select, reach out to your DSO (Designated School Official) to confirm eligibility before applying. Disney does not sponsor visas for this program. 

*U.S. includes all 50 states plus Puerto Rico and all other U.S. territories.
