Study Abroad as an ERC Student

The world cannot be understood from a single point of view -Eleanor Roosevelt

 

Why study abroad?

  • Multiply your career options with international experience
  • Opportunities exist for students of all language levels
  • Go anytime, according to your schedule - not just for a year or semester
  • It's affordable! Living costs in some countries are cheaper than in La Jolla
  • Graduate on time - talk to your major advisor and ERC academic advisor about how easy it is to fit study abroad into your degree

Where can I study abroad?

The key to success is planning! Taking your ERC general education requirements is easy anywhere in the world. Learn more about how to choose courses abroad for your ERC general education requirements: Guidelines for Choosing Courses Abroad

What will it cost and are there any scholarships?

The cost to study abroad varies and can be comparable to the cost of study at UC. In some cases, it is less. EAP participants pay UC fees and continue to receive UC financial aid while abroad. Furthermore, EAP students are eligible for special grants and scholarships from UC, the host country, and other sources.

ERC offers the Jane Hett Study Abroad Memorial Scholarship for students studying in EAP/Global Exchange programs during winter/spring and summer/fall cycles.
