Post-Graduation Opportunities
Don't let your study abroad experience end when you get off the plane. There are a number of ways you can continue to exploring other cultures while staying mobile. You can volunteer, intern, work, teach and enroll in graduate school. And most importantly, all of these can be done abroad!
Employment in Higher and International Education
Almost every international education provider and some colleges and universities offer employment abroad. You can be a guide for EF College Tours, or function as a leader for Semester at Sea. The possibilities to work in international education are endless.
Some colleges also offer employment abroad managing their programs and facilities. In addition, consider an M.S. degree in higher education and student affairs with a focus on international education and help others to reach the same heights you have.
