Leading Study Abroad
UC International wants to make international collaboration opportunities possible by providing faculty and staff members with the support and resources they need.
Over 1,700 students study abroad every year, and 1,000 of those students participate in faculty-led programs designed by UC professors and staff.
UC International has been a life-saver on all of the little details.
