Additional Academic Opportunities
Education Abroad Program (EAP)
The EAP is the University of California’s international study program. Each year at least 4,000 students travel to nearly 50 countries worldwide to experience UC-quality academic excellence, cultural enhancement, and personal growth. IR/PS students are encouraged to participate in the EAP in their second year of study. Although this will necessitate a third year of study to meet MPIA requirements, the opportunity provides unparalleled experience in the selected regional study area and language.
Arrangements can be made through this state-wide program for study on campuses worldwide including Australia, Austria, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, People's Republic of China, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, and the United Kingdom. Complete information and application forms for the various overseas campuses may be obtained from the Programs Abroad Office, International Center at (858) 534-1123.

Through a reciprocal agreement with UCSD Extension, a limited number of spaces of complimentary enrollment in UCSD Extension classes are open to full-time graduate students (twelve units or more) in good standing without payment of additional fees. Only students who have not taken a free Extension course in the previous two quarters are eligible. Registration for extension courses opens about four weeks before the start of each quarter. Information about registration is posted to the NEWS folder on First Class prior to the enrollment period. The number of spaces available for each quarter varies. Complimentary spaces are filled quickly so early registration is encouraged. These courses may not be used to meet degree requirements.
