Start Your Study Abroad Adventure
Be bravely Californian and study abroad—become a global change-maker and tackle the challenges facing the world today. Embrace the qualities of an international human—bold, open, and original. The UCEAP Study Abroad Planner can help you navigate the programs options you might be interested in. Usually, you can expect to board a plane about nine months after you apply to study abroad.
Decide when you want to study abroad.
You can study abroad as soon as your sophomore year as a UC student, and you can study abroad in any term. You can take a quarter, a semester, even a year or more abroad. It takes time to plan study abroad into your academics. Start with what you want to get out of the experience.
While you’re abroad, do you want to …
Earn credit in your major?
OR
Fulfill general requirements?
You can earn UC credit almost anywhere in the world, so start with the places you can’t wait to visit.
After you find the perfect location, select the term you want to study abroad.
If major credit is your goal, look for programs that apply to your field.
After you find a program that fits, you can select the term you want to study abroad.
Don't forget language! You can study abroad and take classes in English, or you can expand your language skills by immersing in the language you want to be fluent in.

Upon returning to the Spanish city that had been my home for four of the most meaningful months of my life, my confidence had grown tenfold from the version of myself that had first visited the city less than 10 months earlier.
