Career Treks

Meet Employers. Make Friends. See the World.

Career treks are your ticket to opportunity. You'll travel to a new city, meet face-to-face with top employers, and get insider access to the world's most competitive organizations.

Whether your dream job is tech in Silicon Valley, public service in Washington DC, finance on Wall Street, research at a leading National Lab, or entertainment in Hollywood, there's a trek for you!

Career Advancement offers 80+ treks annually to leading global markets. Each destination has strong career prospects for skilled talent and employers that are eager to hire UChicago students.

Treks take place four times per year: winter break (December), spring break (March), summer break (August), and early fall before classes begin (September).

The application for our Winter Break treks is now closed. The application for our Spring Break treks will open in mid-December.

Learn more about trek logistics and costs. Decisions will be released on October 23.
