WHY STUDY ABROAD?

The Educational Foundations major challenges you to get out of your comfort zone. This challenge is presented in curriculum and field placements. The outcome of the Educational Foundations experience is perspective change. Participating in study abroad provides an opportunity to immerse in the cultural, linguistic, and social life of another country. Global Education Oregon provides options for study abroad directly related to the major. Some of the options include teaching.

WHEN CAN I STUDY ABROAD?

The Educational Foundations major is organized by a specific sequence of classes. Typically, these courses are offered once per year. The ideal time to study abroad is summer and/or fall of the senior year. Students can also study abroad as freshmen and sophomores. Many use the summer to participate in a study abroad experience. There are options – but planning ahead and meeting with a COE Academic Advisor are essential components of a study abroad experience.
