“Study abroad is simply the most exciting and rewarding opportunity to learn about yourself, your culture and society, and the world while experiencing the opportunity of a lifetime in pursuing your communication degree.”

–Professor Michael Stohl
Department of Communication
UC Santa Barbara

Through EAP, you can profoundly increase your understanding of the role of communication in the contemporary world–including its relationship to new technologies–by experiencing cross-cultural variations in interpersonal, organizational, political, rhetorical, and mass communication.

You can observe the effects of globalizing media on local economies, politics, and cultures, as well as the impact of public policy on the media. You might also consider learning another language or improving your current skills. In addition, opportunities exist to take courses in areas such as journalism, broadcasting, and public relations, which are not traditionally offered at most UC campuses. All of this will help you succeed in a multicultural society, global job market, and increasingly mediated world.
