Welcome to University of California, Davis Summer Abroad!Tunnel Creek - Australia

International learning prepares students to be global citizens in the world they will inherit and shape. Thus, at UC Davis Summer Abroad, we believe that every student would benefit from an international educational experience. Summer Abroad, a part of the UC Davis Education Abroad Center, recognizes that not all students can study overseas for a year or a semester, so our programs offer students short but intense academic courses that are complemented with a wealth of cultural activities. All of our programs are built around UC Davis courses and are led by UC Davis faculty. Many provide opportunities for students to visit non-English speaking countries while doing their coursework in English. Our class sizes are limited, generally enrolling from 18-30 students, thus allowing us to create intimate learning communities overseas.

· Financial aid applies
· Programs are open to all students - freshmen to graduating seniors
· All programs are 4 weeks long and offer 8 units of credit
· All open programs are taught in English
