Exchange Programs are 出国留学 programs that our University has developed in partnership with an international academic institution. These partnerships result in 加州大学洛杉矶分校 students having the ability to study at the partner institution while only paying 加州大学洛杉矶分校 tuition and fees. 学生 are still responsible for additional living expenses, which may include host university campus fees, but the exchange option offers students an affordable option to attend a foreign university.
The following Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are provided to assist you with your interest in studying abroad.
