Egypt: Beyond the Classroom

The information below is for 2007-08.

Students may participate in various kinds of field study or community service for academic credit by signing up at the Cairo EAP Study Center for a Special Study Project. You may design an independent study project, a research project, or an internship to be posted to your UC record.

All EAP students can study Egyptology in the land of the Pharaohs. Students work with leading scholars in the field of Egyptology, take seminar-type courses, and conduct field study at active Egyptian excavations.

Additional opportunities also exist for students to work in other fields including Islamic art and architecture, women’s studies, and Arab culture and civilization.

Volunteer positions are available at organizations like the Egyptian Red Crescent and the Palestinian Red Crescent Hospital. EAP students also may volunteer to teach English to Sudanese, Ethiopian, or other refugees.
