Study Abroad
As a student in the International Education program, you can incorporate extraordinary global experiences into your course of study. The International Education program faculty specifically designed a course, International Development and Education, during the summer in Accra, Ghana, which explores practical questions of international development and education, including site visits and interactions with schools, state agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
The International Education Program has recently launched two new study abroad experiences: Artistic Activism, Social Justice, and Radical Education in a Third Space, which takes place in Buenos Aires, Argentina during the January term and the Politics, Migration, and Education program, which takes place in Florence, Italy during spring break.
Additionally, NYU Steinhardt offers one of the most extensive graduate study abroad programs in the country! You may participate in a study abroad program in January, over Spring Break, or during the summer in such locations as India, South Africa, Argentina, China or Brazil.
Intern Abroad
NYU Steinhardt and the International Education Program also offer an incredible set of internship opportunities in Accra, Ghana. In the past, students have designed and implemented community-driven development projects for international organizations, local government departments and schools, and NGOs, with such organizations as BASICS after school programs for marginalized children and youth, the Human Rights and Advocacy Center, and NYU Accra itself.
Over the summer I traveled to Madrid for the course Artistic Activism & Radical Education in Third Spaces. Throughout my study abroad, our cohort met with local artists, participated in creative workshops, and visited creator spaces and historical landmarks. While I had an amazing time exploring Madrid, I learned the most from my discussions with community leaders and activists. Study abroad creates a unique opportunity to foster conversation and collaboration unlike anything else!"
