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 Ethnic Studies advisor for assistance. For further details, see the Education Abroad Program under International Services Center in the Student Services section of this catalog. A list of participating countries is found under Education Abroad Program in the Curricula and Courses section.
