Requiring Study Abroad

The academic units below have a study abroad or international experience requirement or expectation. There are many more units that strongly encourage students to go abroad without making it mandatory (see General Catalogs). In the future, EAP hopes to work closely with academic units developing new majors or programs to insure that EAP is integrated into these majors or programs from the outset.

UC Berkeley

  • Global Management Concentration, Haas School of Business: The Haas Global Management Concentration is a rigorous program for UC Berkeley business majors who are truly dedicated to pursuing an internationally oriented education and career. This program enables Haas students to study abroad, improve language skills, and pursue a variety of international business and area studies courses. In recognition of the rigor of this program, the concentration will be noted on the final transcript and on a certificate from the Haas School of Business.

UC Davis

  • International Relations Program: All International Relations (IR) majors are strongly encouraged to study abroad for at least one quarter. As of fall 2005, those who choose Track IV are required to study or do an internship abroad for a minimum of one quarter...Track I, II, and III students who choose to take advantage of an education abroad experience of at least four weeks in duration may fulfill the Area Studies requirement by completing three courses instead of four.

UC Irvine

  • Economics--Specialization in International Issues and Economics: The department encourages students to take the electives for the specialization in International Issues and Economics while studying in the Education Abroad Program (EAP).
  • International Studies Program: International Studies majors are also required to pursue some form of international experience for a minimum of one quarter. Majors are encouraged to study abroad through the Education Abroad Program (EAP) or the International Opportunities Program (IOP), which are available for periods of a quarter, semester, year, or summer. When this is not possible, work overseas (through IOP) or a domestic internship with the UCDC Internship Program, the Washington D.C. Center Program, or the Social Science Internship Program (Social Science 197) with an international focus may be substituted.

UC Los Angeles

  • Global Studies Major: Global Studies students are expected to participate in a summer Global Learning Institute at one of the several strategic locations around the world (Global Studies 110A, 110B). These travel study programs act as a lens allowing students to see first-hand how the issues addressed in the Global Studies core curriculum are playing out around the world in places with distinctive histories and cultures. Merit based scholarships are available to select Global Studies students who participate in Global Learning Institutes, as well as to support senior research projects.

UC Riverside

  • Global Studies Program: Students are required to complete their major with a capstone experience. This may be an advanced seminar in a topic of global significance, a major research paper supervised by a Global Studies faculty member or a study abroad program approved by the Chair of Global Studies.

UC Santa Barbara

  • Film Studies M.A./Ph.D.: During the remainder of the fourth year the student will be encouraged to study at a research site abroad or in the U.S. for a period of between three and six months.
  • Global & International Studies M.A.: Students typically spend the summer of their first year and fall quarter of their second year abroad, taking courses and doing internships with non-governmental organizations, governmental bodies, or businesses.

UC Santa Cruz

  • Global Economics Major: All students are required to spend at least one semester in overseas study in an approved course of study, usually (but not necessarily) through the UC Education Abroad Program (EAP). Numerous overseas study sites are available through the EAP office. Students may also choose a year-long program. Use of these programs requires full application to EAP. As the course offerings at the various EAP centers differ, the student will want to plan carefully the appropriate plan of study. The student may use the time spent abroad to further language study, to meet the Area Study course requirement, or to meet some of the upper-division economics course requirements. Programs other than the UC EAP study abroad program must be approved by the Director of Undergraduate Studies to ensure that credit earned is transferable towards the UCSC degree. One such program, with which we work closely, is the IEP, International Education Program at Foothill College, which offers paid summer jobs and internships in Europe, South America, and Asia.
