Experience What UC Davis Can Offer
Working closely with our valued international university and organizational partners, our cohort-based program, Destination Davis, focuses on academic and linguistic preparation, as well as global competency development. Partners can design a program specific to their students’ needs, choosing from a range of content from STEM to humanities. Qualified students can also enjoy an opportunity to take UC Davis academic courses through Open Campus as part of their program. Our approach is holistic, blending traditional education and contextual language learning – the social, cultural and applied learning that happens outside the classroom – to create a deeper, transformational academic experience.
Our short-term content-based programs offer both onsite and remote learning for international students through updated, stimulating curricula. Whether you choose onsite or online programs for your students, they will be able to experience what a top-tier public university can offer. As our partner, we can also work with you to develop custom programs and curricula to reflect the needs and schedules of your students, including ESL (English as a Second Language), ESP (English for Specific Purposes), EAP (English for Academic Purposes), Faculty Development, Staff Development and Teacher Training.
