The University of California Education Abroad Program (EAP) is a study abroad program available to University of California students and students who attend universities abroad with which EAP has an exchange. Although each University of California campus has an EAP campus advisor, the Universitywide Office of the Education Abroad Program (UOEAP) liaises with host institutions and ultimately organizes each program option. The Universitywide Office is located in Goleta near the University of California, Santa Barbara.
EAP was established in 1962 as an exchange with the University of Bordeaux in France. EAP now offers programs at over 150 different host institutions in 35 countries worldwide serving nearly 4500 students annually.

“Like dreaming, reading performs the prodigious task of carrying us off to other worlds. But reading is not dreaming because books, unlike dreams, are subject to our will: they envelop us in alternative realities only because we give them explicit permission to do so. Books are the dreams we would most like to have, and, like dreams, they have the power to change consciousness, turning sadness to laughter and anxious introspection to the relaxed contemplation of some other time and place.”
—Victor Null, South African educator, psychologist. Lost in a Book: The Psychology of Reading for Pleasure, introduction, Yale University Press (1988)
