Graduate Study. The Graduate Group in Education
offers programs of study and research leading
to the Ph.D. degree. Students may concentrate in
educational psychology; language, literacy and
culture; mathematics education; school organization
and educational policy; and science and agriculture
education. Students may also combine these fields
of study with designated emphasis areas such
as critical theory, second language acquisition,
and women's studies. Detailed information
regarding graduate study may be obtained by
writing the Graduate Coordinator or at
http://education.ucdavis.edu/gradgroup.
Preparation. Students should have earned a Bachelor's
or M.A. degree or the equivalent in a discipline
relevant to their proposed emphasis program.
For example, students applying for the mathematics
education emphasis should have earned the B.A. or
M.A. or M.A.T. degree in mathematics or mathematics
education; students applying to the educational
psychology program should have a B.A. or M.A. in
psychology or educational psychology.

Programs of Study
The 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 to qualified graduate students who
have completed at least one full year of graduate
work and have support of their graduate program
and graduate dean.
Academic Programs. EAP offers year, semester,
quarter, and summer programs for all majors. Over
50% of the programs are offered in English, not only
in English-speaking countries such as the United
Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South
Africa, but in Hong Kong, Hungary, the Netherlands,
and Japan, among many others. Several programs
make it possible for students to learn a
language while experiencing the culture first hand
(e.g., in Mexico, Spain, Italy, France, Germany,
China, and Japan). Most programs include the possibility
of internships. There are field research programs
in Australia, Mexico, South Africa, and
Canada as well as biology programs in Costa Rica
and Australia. Global studies programs are offered
in Sweden, China, and Japan. In most situations, students
from the University of California live as the students
of the host country do, and in most cases
students attend the same courses, taught by the faculty
of the host country.
Because new programs are added every year, it is
important to consult the Education Abroad Center
Web site at http://eac.ucdavis.edu. Additionally,
country and some discipline specific brochures are
available at the Education Abroad Center.
UC faculty members serve as directors at most Study
Centers, providing academic advising to students
while abroad. 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.
Finances. Participants pay UC registration and
education fees while abroad. Estimated budgets
include room and board, books, round-trip transportation,
on-site orientation, intensive language program
(where applicable), and miscellaneous
expenses. The cost of studying abroad is often comparable
to that of studying at UC Davis, although living
costs vary from country to country. In some
cases, studying abroad is less expensive than studying
at UC Davis.
Those students already receiving UC financial aid
maintain their eligibility for grants, loans and scholarships
while studying on EAP. Financial aid is
