The mission of the Study Abroad Center is to foster a culture at UCI in which study abroad is expected and achievable for all students. We also support our international reciprocity and exchange students so as to enhance their academic and personal experiences in the U.S. We aim to ensure that our students’ study abroad experiences help them affect positive change in the world, both locally and globally.
UCI was the first UC campus to establish a Cross-Cultural Center, founded to create a social-cultural support system for ethnic minority students. The stated purpose is to create Third World interaction and student outreach and provide necessary information to the UCI minority community. The “Cross,” as it is affectionately known, offers a series of programs, activities, and services that support the emerging needs of UCI’s growing underrepresented student population.
