Courses

You will enroll in the course set below. Expand the sections to view course descriptions. Auditing is not an option. 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.

  • Education Abroad Program (EAP) 192. Internship (4 units, Pass/No Pass grading only)
  • Students will intern approximately 20-30 hours per week and will be able to apply for transcript notation through the UC Davis Career Center. May be repeated up to 12 unit(s).
  • 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. Through online discussions and assignments, students will have a community with whom to share their reflections and observations about their internship placements and to explore the significance of interning in an international context. Students are often asked to write reflective pieces. 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).
