Education Abroad Program (EAP)
Through the Education Abroad Program, UCR students can add an international perspective to their education by studying and living in another country while earning UC credit. The Education Abroad Program 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 http://www.uoeap.ucsb.edu/ or contact UCR's International Services Center at 827-4113.
Undergraduate Research and Special Studies
The interdisciplinary nature of the Comparative Ancient Civilizations program requires that students and faculty make use of a breadth of approaches to the comparative project, including those of the humanities and social sciences disciplines and, where appropriate, scientific approaches. The focus on ancient civilizations constitutes the common ground of interest, yet the novelty of combining approaches will result in fresh views of what constituted those cultures and what actively informs our own today. Working closely with their professors, students will have a unique opportunity to apply all of these approaches and acquire skills of historical and social analysis, multicultural awareness, and mental flexibility. Students also will develop, in consultation with their advisors, an individualized emphasis on one or two ancient civilizations to obtain special depth in those areas.
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.
Through the Education Abroad Program, UCR students can add and international perspective to their education by studying and living in another country while earning UC credit.
Academic Advising
A designated Comparative Ancient Civilizations faculty member provides advising, consulting closely with each student to devise an individual curriculum tailored to the student's interests and career goals.
