Summary

EAP broadens your academic perspectives and can enhance your technical education in the computer and information sciences. You will gain exposure to different modes of problem solving and discover differences in how other countries use computer systems and information technology. At the same time, you can fulfill major requirements and take advantage of unique course work at some of the world’s finest institutions. EAP also presents opportunities to explore international business and technology management issues.

In an era of globalization, study abroad can give you a competitive edge in your future career. Since many firms are multinational in composition or do business internationally, there is increasing demand for computer scientists and engineers who have the cross-cultural skills and experience to interact with colleagues and competitors from around the world.

Join the many UC computer science students who will study abroad this year through EAP!

Student Comments

"I can’t express how memorable and worthwhile my EAP experience was. The international exposure, a large leap outside my comfort zone, will forever be an irreplaceable and extremely rewarding year that I will never forget."
—John Spann, Australia

"Just seeing another culture tackle computer science was illuminating and broadened my view of what was possible in the field."
—Merry Choi, Hong Kong

"There's no doubt that the honors project I participated in while abroad got me my current job, and I am relatively sure it was a significant contributor to my (successful) graduate school applications. I also took courses on robotics and vision, computer science research methodologies, and embedded software. EAP was the single best decision I made while at UC. It helped to give me a more worldly perspective on the work that I do and how it fits into society."
—Jason Wiese, United Kingdom
