Introduction
International education is a growing field of study in which global social change and international education policy go hand in hand. There is a high demand for individuals to work within the complex economic, political, cultural, and social structures that shape learning in different parts of the world and to work in organizational settings in which knowledge of education theory, practice, and impact are highly valued.
The students who earn their degrees in Global and International Education are changemakers who want to be prepared to design global curriculum, promote international-mindedness, foster intercultural and global competence, advocate for social justice, and lead in global institutions.
Our graduates are prepared for careers in the development and teaching of global curriculum and competencies, school and organizational leadership, global learning technologies, international student services, study abroad programs, and research and program management in development, non-governmental, and non-profit organizations.
The Global and International Education master’s program can be completed entirely online – allowing our students to earn their degree from anywhere in the world – even while living abroad. All you need to get started is internet access and a mobile device.
