University of Dreams History
University of Dreams Inc. was founded in February of 2000. That first summer, 73 participants joined us at Santa Clara University, located in the heart of Silicon Valley, California, where they had the opportunity to meet other motivated college students, grow as individuals, and pursue their dreams in their desired career field with an internship. In that first class in 2000 were a handful of future employees, including the current president of University of Dreams.
Since then, University of Dreams has continued to expand the number of cities they operate in to allow students the choice to pursue their dream jobs in the most exciting cities around the world. After the initial program in the Silicon Valley, we have added programs in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Barcelona, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, San Francisco, San Diego, Boston, Sydney, Dublin, Las Vegas, and Washington D.C. Additionally, they offer placement services in the Fall and Spring in select cities for students who want to further their career through living, working, and earning contract academic credit for an entire semester in their dream city. Enrollment in the University of Dreams programs continues to grow, proof that students are having fantastic experiences and are spreading the word about University of Dreams.

Allison Hill
Participated in: New York 2006 Interned at: Creative Marketing Plus Where are you now? Madison Square Garden Final thoughts? Without this program, I would never have had the courage/opportunity to intern in NYC, let alone end up moving and working here. The program taught me how to interview and what to expect when applying for jobs. |

Participated in: Los Angeles 2007 Interned at: Halon Entertainment, LLC Where are you now? Halon Entertainment, LLC Final thoughts? Without the hard work and dedication of UoD, I would not have worked for over a year at a large Visual Effects Studio. I would not be moving up in the company. I would not have TWO Oscars!!! from Benjamin Button. I would not have many connections throughout the industry. I'm living my Dream! |
