UCSD Global Seminars programs were launched in 2008-09, and UCSD PRIME and faculty-led department-based programs, such as those administered by the Anthropology department, are included beginning in 2009-10. In Support of the Chancellor’s Goal

Approximately 22% of UC San Diego students currently participate in an education abroad experience before they graduate. The Chancellor’s goal is to send 50% of undergraduate students abroad before graduation. To achieve this goal, Programs Abroad has a codifed plan that includes efforts to involve more faculty and departments in our academic integration strategies, as well as a plan to bring study abroad alumni and current students together in mentoring relationships.
