Travel Advisory: Middle East Conflict

April 2, 2026: On March 22, 2026, the US Department of State issued a  Worldwide Caution  directing Americans to exercise increased caution. UCEAP provides extensive guidance to students through our predeparture webinars, guides, communications, and orientations. UCEAP students will receive Crisis24 Alert emails regarding their program country and city to raise awareness on risk and provide guidance on personal safety.  

This catalog is one of many resources to help you research courses on UCEAP. You can use it to view courses students across all UC campuses have taken in the last five years. While not a complete list of available courses, it's a great starting point.

What you can do with this catalog:

  • Browse the variety of courses UC students have previously taken.
  • Identify the departments abroad where courses are hosted.
  • Determine how many UC units the courses carry.
  • Confirm whether a course is upper-division or lower-division.
  • Gather course information to share with your academic department(s) for advice on fulfillment of degree requirements.
  • Discover programs that have courses of interest to you!

Keep in mind:

  • UCEAP subject areas and course numbers are not tied to specific UC majors and courses. For example, a History 120A course in the catalog has no correlation to your campus’ History 120A. This simply indicates this is a UCEAP upper-division course in the discipline of history. You can still petition these to count for your UC degree requirements!
  • The designation of a course as lower, upper, or graduate level does not guarantee credit at your UC campus for that level.
  • If a host institution makes changes to a course, UCEAP may make updates to this catalog as necessary, including the division of course.
  • UCEAP subject areas do not guarantee your UC department will accept a course to fulfill a certain requirement. The designation of your course under a specific subject area shouldn’t prevent you from petitioning for the course to count for a major or GE/breadth requirement under a different subject area on your home campus.
  • This catalog does not list all courses available. For example, if a UC student has not taken the course, it will not appear in the catalog. Similarly, courses for new programs may not be listed. Instead, explore the more up-to-date host institution catalogs directly.
  • This catalog may list courses that are no longer offered.
  • To see if courses will meet your degree requirements, talk to your academic department(s) and explore the Campus Credit Abroad database.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict Updates

Russia-Ukraine Conflict Updates

March 14, 2022: It has been over two weeks since Russia launched a full-scale invasion in Ukraine. Sanctions continue to be enacted, diplomatic efforts are ongoing, and the humanitarian crisis grows each day. We understand if you're reassessing how this significant world event may impact your personal risk tolerance and thus your commitment to participating in a study abroad program.

Sociology Abroad

Take your sociology studies international to analyze how social structures, cultures, and institutions shape everyday life—linking theory and method to questions of inequality, identity, and social change. International study immerses you in diverse communities and policy contexts, expanding how you design research, collect and interpret qualitative and quantitative data, and compare social systems across countries. You’ll advance in sociological theory, research methods, and areas such as education, work and organizations, health, family, migration, and criminal justice—tackling projects on topics like education reform, labor markets, care systems, and community resilience. Build your portfolio through fieldwork, interviews and surveys, data analysis, and partnerships with NGOs and local agencies—strengthening analytic rigor, cultural humility, and the ability to translate sociological insight into solutions for public policy and community well-being.
