The UC Education Abroad Program (UCEAP) is commemorating its 50th anniversary this year by offering students study abroad opportunities at top-ranked universities and institutions in 36 countries worldwide. According to UCEAP’s website, the program started in the fall of 1962, when 80 students from the University of California studied abroad in Bordeaux, France for one year. Since then, UCEAP’s diverse study abroad programs have enabled students to enrich their studies by exploring the world, learning new languages and gaining global perspectives through culture immersion.
