Study Center Directorships
Most EAP programs are administered abroad from an EAP Study Center that has been established in cooperation with a university, other institution, or provider of higher education in the host country. The President of the University of California appoints UC faculty members to serve as Study Center Directors for periods ranging from one semester to two years; they serve as UC’s on-site representative to the host university or provider. Directors are responsible for the operation of the EAP Study Center, and must fulfill both administrative and academic functions. Their basic academic duties include: submission of an annual report, timely preparation of information needed to obtain UC approval of new courses, developing the academic and cultural programs of the Study Center, advising students on academic and related matters, evaluating student performance, occasional teaching responsibilities, the assignment of final grades in consultation with professors and tutors in the host institution, and advising and screening host university students who are interested in coming to UC as part of EAP’s reciprocal exchange programs. Directors also are responsible for interpreting the culture of the host country to the students and helping them adapt to their new environments. As on-site representatives of the University of California, Directors establish, maintain, and nurture relationships with host universities and their personnel. Directors provide guidance to the Universitywide Office of EAP on ways to improve both the academic quality of the program as well as the cultural and intellectual experiences of the students. Directors are also responsible for the administration of the Study
Center. In coordination with the Universitywide Office of EAP, Directors
supervise matters related to Study Center personnel (administrative
and instructional), contractual commitments (individual and/or institutional),
acquisition and disposition of office equipment and fixtures, and
implementation of significant changes in the administrative organization
or financial operations of the Study Center. Directors assume fiduciary
responsibility for managing, accounting for, and reporting on funds
allocated to the Study Center, and for supervising Study Center disbursements
in accordance with UC policy. Directors are provided with information

Director’s Orientation, held annually in Santa Barbara. Finally,
