EAP
The Education Abroad Program (EAP) is an excellent opportunity to
lean more about another country and its culture while taking long
programs, a wide range of shorter options are also available. While
on EAP, students are still eligible for financial assistance. Students
are advised to plan study abroad well in advance so as to ensure
that the courses taken fit with their overall program back at UCR.
For further details see the University of California's EAP website
and www.uoeap.ucsb.edu
or contact UCR's International
Services Center at (951) 827-4113.
Undergraduate Research and Special Studies
Law and Society majors have access to computer laboratories and
other facilities maintained by cooperating departments such as History.
Some undergraduates have worked in Psychology on law-related themes,
notably eyewitness testimony. The program is developing a link with
UCR's Robert Presley Center for crime and Justice Studies, a relationship
that may generate a formal system of internships.
The University Honors Program offers lower-division courses taught
by distinguished faculty and introduces undergraduates to the challenges
and rewards of scholarship and research from the beginning of their
undergraduate careers. In the upper division, the program invites
outstanding students to design and produce honors theses and projects
under individual faculty supervision. Through the departmental Honors
Program, highly qualified students are invited to conduct a research
thesis of their own initiative and design in collaboration with
a faculty member Participation in the Honors Program is the capstone
of an excellent education.
Academic Advising
Advising is provided by each student's primary major department.
