UC San Diego Global Seminars are five-week-long study abroad experiences led by a UC San Diego professor. They are offered during summer session. Most seminars take place during summer session I, but some may be offered during summer session II. Students enroll in two courses for a total of eight UC San Diego units. Class sizes are between approximately fifteen and twenty-five students, giving students excellent opportunities for interaction with some of the best professors at UC San Diego. All courses are taught in English, but several programs include a few hours of elementary language instruction to help students navigate the local community. The Programs Abroad Office will assist students with advising, application, financial aid, predeparture orientation, and reentry issues. Special study abroad scholarships are available.
