UC Davis programs are academic programs so participants should expect a substantial amount of course work. You are expected to fully participate in both courses, which includes the internship. Taking additional courses or working while participating in your internship is highly discouraged.

  • University Writing Program (UWP) 198. Directed Group Study (2 units, Pass/No Pass grading only)
  • This 2-unit online course is intended as a forum to connect the work students do at their internship to its broader social and cultural context.

Assignments and topics vary by program. May be repeated up to 10 unit(s). GE credit: AH, WE.
Note for students requesting 192 internship credit from their major department: Prior to enrolling in the program, we recommend confirming with your major department that you are able to receive internship credit for EAP 192 (some departments have a minimum unit requirement for upper division internship credit).
