In AY 2021-22, the Division of Global Engagement facilitated the development of new international agreements for partnership between UC Santa Cruz and universities and organizations operating outside of the U.S.
Agreements such as these allow the Division to promote international cooperation in teaching, research, and student, faculty, and staff mobility
Six new bilateral student exchange partnerships have been established this academic year that have grown out of UCSC faculty connections as well as student interest in these locations for study abroad. These partnerships will provide UCSC students with the opportunity to study abroad at these institutions while earning UC credit; students from these institutions will also be invited to study on exchange at UCSC for between one to three quarters.
