Travel and Study Around the World
Every country and culture approaches language differently. One excellent way to gain a well-rounded and diverse view of the field of English is to live and study in another country. Study abroad is a unique experience that often leads students to personal growth and cultural immersion, and one that can help develop academic and professional skills. The University of Oregon offers roughly 15 study abroad programs at top academic institutions and GEO Centers around the world through the Global Education Oregon (GEO) office that can fulfill your English major or minor requirements while providing a uniquely immersive experience.
Study Abroad with UO
English is a discipline greatly enhanced by learning from other cultures and perspectives. From race and ethnicity to medical humanities, creative writing, and everything in between, even the most niche of concentrations is enhanced by being studied in another country. The best way to prepare for a career with an English degree is to study or intern abroad.
The University of Oregon offers roughly 15 study abroad programs that can satisfy your ENG major or minor requirements. Programs are currently offered in Ghana, the UK, Ireland, Italy, India, China, and more. Alternatively, you can intern abroad through the GlobalWorks International Internship program in a variety of regions around the world.
