“Education abroad provides the opportunity to add range and depth to understanding people, their habitats, and their social systems. Early in my academic career, an Advanced Study Institute at Cambridge had a profound impact on my view of the world and my approach to psychology and research. It rapidly led to many international contacts that have enriched my life and work over the ensuing decades. Your knowledge base for psychology and social behavior is greatly enhanced by study abroad: seize this opportunity.”

Through EAP, you can develop an international perspective in psychology and gain exposure to other countries’ approaches to the discipline. At the same time, you will have access to unique courses in subfields not typically offered at most UC campuses (e.g., humanistic psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, and applied psychology), as well as special internship and research opportunities. All of this will increase your understanding of human behavior and mental processes. In an increasingly interdependent world, global awareness and cross-cultural competency are essential.
