As Apps Open Nov 1, These Will Fill Most Quickly

UC Merced Study Abroad Stories of Interest


Application form and ticking timer with text: Apply Early | 40 programs likely to fill quickly

It's hard to 100% accurately predict which study abroad programs will be the most popular from one year to the next. Based on historical trends, space limitations, and past popularity, we anticipate that these 2024-25 programs are likely to fill more quickly than others, possibly within hours or days of the November 1 application launch.

In anticipation of the November 1 application open, we are hosting an application launch party, 1:30-3:00PM, Wednesday, November 1. Join us for help (and pizza)!
