The Global Cities Program has been cancelled for Summer 2021
Maximize Your Summer!
The Global Cities Program is a unique collaboration between partner universities abroad and UCLA.

This joint program is comprised of two consecutive sessions. For the first 4-5 weeks, you will join a group of local students at the host university. For the last 6 weeks, the same cohort of students come to UCLA to attend Summer Session C.
