Studying Abroad

Students may study abroad through a variety of different programs. Students may study abroad through UCLA's Summer Travel Programs, in which UCLA faculty lead a class of students abroad and offer courses that receive full academic credit. In addition, Financial Aid may be used for these programs if students are eligible. Registration usually begins in mid-November, and students may inquire at UCLA Summer Sessions at 1147 Murphy Hall if they have any questions.

UCLA also offers many opportunities through the Education Abroad Program (EAP) which is sponsored by the University of California system and offers more than 140 programs in more than 30 countries. Exchange students can find programs to suit their needs, studying abroad for a summer, semester or year and can also use Financial Aid if eligible. Questions should be directed to the International Education Office at B300 Murphy Hall.

Another UC option is the Quarter Abroad, in which students travel with a UCLA faculty member. Currently programs are available in Archaeology and Classics.

Students may also find countless opportunities through other institutions and agencies not sponsored by UCLA or the University of California. Although there is no guarantee that courses will be transferrable, students may find these programs better suit their needs. If eligible students may be able to apply Financial Aid to their programs, and should file a Planned Academic Leave. Students should consult with the International Education Office in B300 Murphy Hall.
