Education Abroad
The University of California (UC), founded in 1868 and today comprised of nine campuses, is one of the leading public universities in the United States.
As the University's primary outreach to the international community, the Education Abroad Program (EAP) offers UC students access to strong academic programs outside of the United States that complement UC campus curricula.
Since the opening of the first EAP Study Center at the University of Bordeaux in 1962, more than 40,000 UC students have studied in over 150 universities in nearly 50 countries. In 2004-2005 more than 4,200 UC students are expected to study on EAP at one of 150 host institutions in 35 countries. Through reciprocal agreement, about 1,100 students from affiliate universities of EAP will attend UC. EAP offers full-year and short-term programs in a wide range of academic disciplines for sophomore through graduate students. EAP participants enroll in regular host university courses for a full academic year abroad, or may participate in short-term and discipline-specific programs.
