Undergraduate Programs
The program offers a Minor
in Western
American Studies. See Degree
Requirements for Minors for more details.
University Honors Program
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.
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 (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 827-4113.
