Selection is very competitive. Applicants will be assessed based on relevant coursework, leadership experiences, and participation in internships, research, organizations, and professional and volunteer settings.

All undergraduates meeting the eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply. Because the courses count as in-residence credit, graduating seniors may participate during their final semesters.

After applications are reviewed, finalists will be selected to interview with a selection panel consisting of five or six people, including UT Austin faculty and staff and the director and/or program coordinator of the Archer Center. Interview dates are in early March, before spring break. You must interview in person. The selection committee expects to select about fifteen students for each semester, and may also designate alternates.

If you will be studying abroad in spring 2012, and therefore will not be present during the interview portion, please contact Archer Program at UT Austin before November 1, 2011, about submitting an application and interviewing in November 2011. You will be required to submit documentation that you will be studying abroad.
