Optional Study Abroad Opportunities

The accredited MS in Global and International Education program offers study abroad opportunities during the summer term each year. These programs are designed for working professionals who are unable to spend more than two weeks away. This summer, the program is excited to announce a study abroad opportunity in Vietnam. Students will visit important historical sites and meet with local experts, likely to include key diplomats, policy-makers, political leaders and educators.
