Study Abroad Center

The Study Abroad Center has a staff of six who advise 1,500 students each year, support 1,000 who go abroad, and provide returnee programs to another 200 .

UCI is recognized for its excellence in academics and accessibility which brings unique challenges for its education abroad programs.

STEM programs are especially competitive and the curricula are intensive.
