Education Abroad

Education Abroad

Education Abroad provides UCR students a gateway to high-quality international opportunities, offered through academic coursework, experiential learning, immersion to cultivate intercultural understanding and collaboration. We help students acquire the skills to work in a global marketplace, and promote access to global experiences as an integral part of a UCR education through student support services, including program advising, financial counseling, academic integration, and resource sharing.

We will help you find a program that works for you! Visit our chat room  to connect with our staff or student peer advisors.

Why Go Abroad?

Personal Growth, Career Impact, Academics

 

  • Studying, working, and living in another country gives you space to help you learn things about yourself, mature as a person, become more confident, and become more responsible.
  • Going abroad tells employers you have ambition, the ability to adapt to change, and the skills necessary to succeed in a multicultural environment. It will give you an edge over competition in an increasingly globalized market.
  • Not only do you get to benefit from the depth and hands-on experience while you’re studying abroad, you are more likely to have higher grades when you return.
