Special opportunities

Coursework in the College of Education and Human Development is infused with field experiences and with internships. Study abroad experiences and National Student Exchange opportunities are strongly encouraged.

The College of Education and Human Development offers teacher education majors the opportunity to complete their student teaching internship in an international setting. Selected students are placed in an international school in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, or Montreal, Canada, for a student teaching internship program. The College also offers a semester abroad program at Keele University in England.

The Sport Management/Recreation and Tourism (SMRT) and Kinesiology (KNS) Divisions of the School of Human Movement, Sport, and Leisure Studies have exchange agreements with the University of Brighton and with the Chelsea School of Physical Education, Sports Science, Dance and Leisure at East Sussex, England. Additional opportunities are available through the SMRT Division at Southern Cross University in Lismore, Australia (see Education abroad).

Students interested in exploring these special opportunities should direct initial inquiries to the appropriate academic department.
