Education
Abroad Program for English Majors
The English department encourages its students to consider
completing some portion of their undergraduate study
through the University’s
Education Abroad Program. Students can deepen their
understanding of British, American, and post-colonial
English literature by study in a foreign university
and at the same time add an international dimension
to their undergraduate education. Because all courses
taken through EAP are accepted as UC courses, with careful
planning students may spend as much as a year of study
in a foreign university with no loss of time in completing
their degrees.
There are several ways in which to incorporate study
abroad into the English curriculum. Students may choose
to complete a significant portion of their studies in
the major at an English-speaking university in the United
Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Barbados,
or South Africa. Most courses in the English departments
in these countries are accepted for elective credit
in the major or minor, and in many cases required courses
may be completed as well. Students taking this option
typically study abroad in their junior or senior year.
Students who have completed their lower-division language
studies may expand their knowledge of that language
through literature classes in a foreign university through
EAP. Up to eight units of European literature outside
of English may be counted toward the English major.
In addition, students may take approved English literature
classes at these universities.
English majors and minors may also begin the study
of a foreign language through the short-term
language and culture programs offered by EAP in
such countries as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico,
and Chile.
Students interested in completing a part of their major
abroad can navigate to the courses that may be counted

through the Education Abroad Program.
