We highly encourage and support our students in the Division of Education & Human Studies to take a semester of international study. As an EHS major, your work will be deeply enriched by a global perspective. By studying abroad, you will come to appreciate the nuances of other cultures and how critical it is to be sensitive to them no matter where you are in the world. Through study abroad, you'll also become a more globally engaged citizen based on your exposure to an international array of global issues.
You have the option to study abroad at one of the Champlain Abroad campuses during your junior year, in either Montreal, Canada or Dublin, Ireland. At our Dublin campus, all students in the Division of Education & Human Studies take a service learning class, where they complete a field placement in Irish schools or nonprofit organizations. If you study at the Champlain Abroad Montreal campus, you can participate in a field-based internship. The staff and faculty at both international campuses will work with you to find a student placement that fits around your academic schedule, giving you a unique multi-cultural experience into school systems and community agencies abroad.
Alternatively, you can take a semester studying nearly anywhere in the world, including Argentina, China, Italy, New Zealand, and Scotland. Students in the Division of Education & Human Studies have previously studied abroad in Australia, Bolivia, Italy, Nepal, Spain, Thailand, and Wales.
Students in the Education & Human Studies Division, have the opportunity to enroll into a four-week international internship course, and are encouraged to be involved with international service through the EHS International Service Travel Voucher program.
Working closely with your Program Director, you will be able to accommodate a semester abroad—which could include an international internship—while satisfying all of the required coursework for your major.
Global Appreciation is an essential competency employers seek in their job candidates. At Champlain, we make sure that our curriculum has room for you to study in another country; we even provide opportunities for you to intern abroad in your field.
Through living, studying, and working abroad, you will gain a global understanding of your career. You'll become a culturally aware citizen and an internationally engaged and interculturally sensitive professional. Your global experiences will not only broaden your worldview, but make you stand out to future employers. And you won't be alone—60% of Champlain College juniors studied abroad in the last year.
