The UC Education Abroad Program (EAP) is one of
the premiere study abroad programs in the nation.
EAP offers international study programs in association
with nearly 140 host universities and institutions
in some 32 countries around the world. Participating
students remain registered at UC Davis while studying
abroad and receive full academic credit for their
work. EAP students maintain their financial aid and
scholarship eligibility while abroad. EAP has study
abroad opportunities for undergraduates at all class
levels as well as for qualified graduate students who
have completed at least one full year of graduate
work and have the support of their graduate program
and graduate dean.
EAP offers year, semester, quarter, and summer programs
for all majors. Over 50% of the programs are
offered in English, while several programs allow students
to learn a language while experiencing the
culture first hand. Some programs include the possibility
of internships or field research. In most cases,
students attend courses taught by the faculty of the
host institution.
UC faculty members serve as directors at most Study
Centers abroad, providing in-country academic
advising to students during their program. Full UC
credit is granted for courses satisfactorily completed,
and courses and grades are recorded on official UC
transcripts. With careful planning, most EAP students
make normal progress toward their UC degrees,
even those students who study abroad for a full year.
With approval of their major or college advisers, students
may earn credit towards their major, minor
and general education requirements.
Graduation Requirements. All prospective applicants,
particularly students who intend to study
abroad during their senior year, should carefully
plan their course programs for Davis and abroad in
order to satisfy university, college, and major/minor
requirements for their degree.
Although units and grade points earned in the EAP
are incorporated into the University transcript and
GPA, departments and majors retain the right to
determine which EAP courses will be accepted in satisfaction
of major and minor requirements.
All degree candidates must meet the University residence
requirement. Recognizing the special value of
study abroad, the faculty have approved two exceptions
to the usual residence requirement for students
participating in the Education Abroad Program:
• Students planning to graduate immediately upon
completion of participation in the EAP may satisfy
the University residence requirement by completing
at least 35 of their final 45 units on the Davis
campus preceding entry into the EAP,
or
• Students who have not finished all of their degree
requirements following completion of their participation
in the EAP may satisfy the University residence
requirement by completing at least 35
units, including at least 12 units after returning
from the EAP, on the Davis campus within the final
90 units earned toward the degree. With this
option, as many as 55 units taken abroad may
be applied toward the unit requirement for graduation.
Students should consult with their college Dean's
office early during the EAP planning process for
information on the university residence requirement.
Students may satisfy GE requirements while on EAP,
but should consult with the Education Abroad Center
and their college Dean's office prior to departure for
information on the certification process.
Students may participate in EAP provided that (1)
they will not exceed 225 units prior to their departure
and (2) that all their degree requirements have
been fulfilled either before they leave campus or during
their time on EAP. Participants may only return to
campus from EAP to complete any outstanding
degree requirements provided that they can do so
within 225 units.
Participants in programs that conclude in May or
June who satisfy all degree requirements while
abroad and expect to graduate upon completion of
the year abroad should file for candidacy to receive
their degree in September; candidacy filing dates
are established by the Office of the University Registrar.
In most cases, transcripts from abroad may not
be received in time to be posted on the student's
Davis transcript for EAP returnees to be included on
the June degree list. Such returning students may register
to participate in the June commencement ceremony;
however, their graduation date will be in
September. Participants in programs that conclude in
November or December should file for candidacy to
receive their degree in March. Such returning students
may be able register to participate in either the
December or subsequent June commencement ceremony.
Their graduation date will be in March.
UC Davis Faculty-Led Programs
Abroad
UC Davis Quarter Abroad and UC Davis Summer
Abroad offer faculty-led study-abroad programs that
provide students with unique opportunities to travel
and study in over 25 countries. Participants remain
registered UC Davis students while abroad and
receive UC Davis units for their academic work.
Open to students from any major, these programs
allow students to choose courses from a wide range
of specializations.
Programs range from four-week summer offerings to
quarter-long options. All programs allow students to
experience the host country's unique culture through
co-curricular activities, such as day-trips to surrounding
areas, museum tours, and theatre visits.
Financial aid and scholarships apply. Students may
participate in Quarter Abroad or Summer Abroad
as early as their freshman year, or as late as their
senior year. Applicants must have a 2.000 GPA, be
in good academic and disciplinary standing, and
must fulfill any prerequisites specific to the program
courses.
Some courses completed through Quarter Abroad or
Summer Abroad can apply specifically towards the
Global and International Studies minor. The minor is
designed for students who want to create an emphasis
on a global topic, including regional, historical,
political, ethnic or other issues.
In preparation for Quarter Abroad and/or Summer
Abroad, students are urged to take Education
Abroad Program 90X or 190X.

Academic Focus. Students can earn 12-22 quarter
units through 3-5 courses taken abroad. The
UC Davis faculty leader teaches at least one of the
courses of the program, while the rest are led by
adjunct faculty of the host country. Students may be
able to apply earned units towards their major,
minor, language, or general education requirements.
In addition to language courses or other core
courses, select programs also allow students the
opportunity to earn units through an internship component.

Academic Focus. Students earn 8 quarter units
through two courses taken abroad. All courses are
taught by UC Davis faculty with select supplemental
lectures provided by local experts. Planned group
activities and field trips enhance classroom instruction.
Students may be able to apply earned units

requirements. Programs allow students to complete
coursework in English in a wide variety of non-English-speaking
locations.
