Enrich your academic journey and expand your horizons through Faculty-led Global Seminars – summer programs that offer students global experiences with UC Santa Cruz faculty. These programs encompass UC Santa Cruz courses taught abroad/away, with excursions and cultural activities enhanced by the location.
Many provide opportunities for students to visit non-English speaking countries while doing their coursework in English. Class sizes are small (12-25 students) allowing for an intimate learning experience.
Global Seminars are open to UC students from any campus and non-UC students. Sign up for email updates.
