Getting Started

Welcome to Your Future!

It is time to embark on what will be the highlight of your UCSB career. Wherever you decide to go, you will gain new global perspectives and have the time of your life.
To decide on the best study abroad program for you, we recommend you begin with some research:

Academics - Read how to plan and integrate study abroad into your college academic path. See the advice your department gives its students about study abroad.
Cost  - Invest in your future and participate on EAP! You can study abroad for less than it costs to stay at UCSB if you pick the right program.
Internships - Check out the many internship and volunteer opportunities available to EAP students abroad.
Programs by Country - EAP offers over 200 programs in over 39 countries. Don't limit yourself to the most common countries in western Europe!
Due Dates - Check here to figure out when you need to submit your application. 
Info Meetings - We hold regular info meeting throughout the year. Please join us.
 

Once you've picked a program, start the application process by completing a Boarding Pass online. Then go to the Apply Now tab at the top of this page to start your application.
