Dear EAP Parent:

Since 1962, the University of California's Education Abroad Program (EAP) has sent students abroad in the hopes of fostering academic growth and cross-cultural understanding. By deciding to participate on EAP, your student has made the first step towards gaining a level of academic and personal enrichment that comes with the singular experience of living and studying abroad.

We would like to assure you of our commitment to preparing and supporting your student throughout their EAP experience. We would also like to underscore the essential role that parental support plays throughout a student's EAP experience–prior to departure, during his/her stay abroad, and after his/her return to the United States. We encourage you to explore the links below to familiarize yourself with EAP resources and policies.
