The History Department encourages eligible students to participate in the Education Abroad Program (EAP). The EAP is an excellent opportunity to travel and learn more about another country and its culture while taking courses which earn units toward graduation. Because strategy in choosing courses to be taken here and courses to be taken abroad varies depending on personal goals and the country visited, early planning is advised. Consult the departmental Student Affairs Officer for assistance. For further details see Education Abroad Program under International Services Center in the Student Affairs section of this catalog. A list of participating countries is found under Education Abroad Program in the Curricula and Courses section. Also be sure to check the UCR EAP site and the UC systemwide EAP site.
