Background

Scope and content:

"Since 1962, the University of California Education Abroad Program (EAP) has been the UC systemwide international exchange program. Serving all ten campuses, EAP supports the mission of the University of California through instructional activities and exchange relationships around the world.

"Over 60,000 UC students have participated in EAP and graduated into careers in private industry, public service, and academia. Approximately 550 UC faculty have served EAP as UC Study Center Directors, Visiting Professors, and program instructors. Over 20,000 international students have completed non-degree study at a UC campus through EAP's reciprocal exchange agreements.

"Currently, in over 30 countries with nearly 250 program options, EAP:

• Provides diverse and comprehensive program options of varied design and duration
• Assimilates EAP course work taken abroad into UC degree and graduation requirements
• Partners with top-ranked universities, institutes, and faculty around the globe
• Integrates UC financial aid and scholarships to provide equal access for students
• Presents opportunities to explore diverse linguistic, cultural, and intellectual traditions
• Offers language instruction and perspectives that expand on courses available on UC campuses
• Includes unique research, internship, and community service options in most locations."
