Education Abroad Program

Each year more than 1,400 undergraduate and graduate students from UC campuses study at distinguished universities throughout the world. UCLA students remain registered here while overseas and receive UC units and grade points for work completed abroad. Currently, the Education Abroad Program (EAP) offers study opportunities at more than 100 different universities in 32 countries: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, Egypt, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, and Thailand. Participants can spend up to a full academic year abroad, enjoying a unique opportunity to enhance language skills, take courses in their major, and become involved in the culture of the host country. One-term programs are available in Austria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, and Thailand. Summer programs are offered in Denmark and Mexico. In Costa Rica there is a one-term tropical biology field study program. For all programs a special orientation program and, when necessary, intensive language training are included. During the year UC faculty members at the host university assist with scholastic or personal problems.

EAP is open to all undergraduate students who have (1) completed a minimum of 90 quarter units (junior standing) prior to departure, (2) at least a B average (3.0 GPA) overall at the time of application, and (3) the support of the UCLA EAP Selection Committee. Some programs have a language requirement as well.

Graduate students who have completed at least one year of graduate work and have the approval of their graduate adviser and the dean of the Graduate Division may participate at most study centers.

Costs for participation in EAP vary from $1,740 to $19,000, but University financial aid is available to those who qualify. Applications must be filed several months in advance. For more information, contact the EAP Office in 28 Haines Hall (310-825-4889, 825-4995).
