The information on this page is intended as a starting point for your study abroad planning. It is not meant as a substitute for direct advising from the Animal Biology Major Advisor and study abroad advisors! The application deadlines for study abroad programs range from 3 - 12 months prior to departure, so do your research with the Educational Abroad Center and make an appointment to discuss your plans with your advisors early!

UC Davis Quarter Abroad & UC Davis Summer Abroad

UC Education Abroad Program

All classes taken on the UC Education Abroad Program (EAP) are listed individually with their accompanying grades on your UC Davis transcript. The courses are UC approved courses and count toward your 180 unit requirement for graduation. However, the Animal Biology Major Advisors have the final authority to determine how the coursework is used to fulfill specific major requirements!
