While there is such a large selection of host universities to choose from when looking for courses that fall within Education majors/minors, there are a few that stand out for both academic excellence and for the breadth of courses available. Generally, we look for academic offerings in the following areas: Early Childhood Education, Elementary/Primary, Outdoor/Physical, Secondary, Special Education, and of course General Education.

In addition to taking courses towards their degree, future teachers can also gain hands-on experience through a customized education internship placement.

## Featured Program for Education

[Intern in Chiang Mai](https://cisabroad.com/program/intern_in_chiang_mai?ideal_destination__c=Thailand)

Take part in a meaningful internship and apply your classroom knowledge to real work experience, all while immersing yourself in Thai culture in a historic and beautiful city. You'll be based in historic Chiang Mai, a popular destination for foreign and local travelers alike due to its great climate, amazing foods, surrounding mountains, and hundreds of ancient temples dating back to the 14th century.

## Top semester programs for Education

The great thing about our semester programs that are well-suited to Education students is that many of these universities offer such a diverse selection of classes and areas of focus in this field. Here are a few of the top options with the widest range of subjects:

[Semester in London - University of Roehampton](https://www.cisabroad.com/study-abroad/semester-in-london-university-of-roehampton/)

University of Roehampton is every Harry Potter fan’s dream school– a friendly, cozy campus tucked away in southwest London. With the “Growhampton” sustainability program, the campus is a lively, eco-friendly, and stimulating environment to socialize and learn in. This program has a great selection of courses for students interested more specifically in Early Childhood and Elementary/Primary Education, as well as General Education.

[Semester in Florence - Florence University of the Arts](https://www.cisabroad.com/study-abroad/semester-in-florence/)

Florence University of the Arts offers a rich and engaging study abroad experience. With the benefit of smaller class sizes, FUA is dedicated to experiential and hands-on learning for students. Though this school’s selection of courses may not be as broad as some of the others’, FUA does offer a variety of courses in General Education, as well as a unique abroad experience in a non-English-speaking country, and affords students in Education the firsthand experience of a more collaborative and creative classroom environment.

[Semester in Ireland - University of Limerick](https://cisabroad.com/program/semester_in_limerick_university_of_limerick)

Study in an authentic Irish city with state-of-the art facilities, great housing options, and diverse classes with Irish students so you can really get to know the local culture. The University of Limerick offers lots of great options in teaching and coaching. After class, head into the city of Limerick to explore its 13th-century castle, stroll along the River Shannon, or listen to traditional pub music. 

## Top summer programs for Education

Education majors tend to have a more difficult time finding courses towards their degree during the summer, partly to do with the fact that some of the more hands-on classroom experiences are not possible when lower level education is not in session. However, it is still possible for an Education major/minor to knock out some credits along with taking some stellar electives or general requirements courses over the summer months. Here are a few of our top summer programs to check out:

[Summer in Scotland](https://www.cisabroad.com/summer-study-abroad/summer-in-scotland/)

[Summer in London - University of Roehampton](https://cisabroad.com/program/summer_in_london_university_of_roehampton?ideal_destination__c=england)
