"For our generation, I believe this crisis will largely define what it means to be an American. And towards that understanding every current exchange student, myself included, has been given the unique opportunity to not only feel all the different emotions that Americans are going through, but also to interact with people from different countries and discover what their nationality means to them. I have found this added dimension to be the most rewarding part of studying abroad, and would not trade it for the world.

The Education Abroad Program is the best study abroad option for most current UCLA students. EAP offers over 140 programs in over 30 countries. There are long-term, short-term and summer options for sophomores to graduate students. Plus EAP offers several options "In the Field" which allow you to do internships, independent research projects and field studies.

As the official University of California study abroad program, EAP offers you a number of advantages:

  1. You will automatically receive full, graded UC credit for all coursework you complete abroad through EAP, so you don't lose your class standing while abroad and you usually don't fall behind in the coursework needed for your degree.
  2. The cost for most programs is equivalent or lower than a year at UCLA.
  3. All financial aid that you currently receive applies to your time abroad, with the exception of work-study awards, which are usually replaced with an EAP scholarship or an increased loan.
  4. All programs are approved by the UC Academic Senate.

If you are not a current UCLA student, you are not eligible to go abroad through EAP. But don't miss out on the study abroad experience. Explore your other options through UCLA's EXPO Center and Summer Sessions.

The decision to live and study in another country will be one that influences your life in a number of extraordinary ways. One of the best ways to prepare yourself to take full advantage of the experience is to research and understand your program options and how your time abroad can complement your academic plans at UCLA.
