The jobs we'll have in and after college require a decent amount of credentials and experience, no matter what your major is. Whether you're a business student, biology major, or interested in being a kindergarten teacher, anyone can benefit from studying abroad.
We've all been told to take advantage of this opportunity because most college kids don't. So if you're thinking of traveling over USA borders, consider the best places based on your major or minor.
1. Science Major
Science and technology in African, Latin and South American countries advances every day. From biology to plant science, programs in these regions are great for an aspiring scientist.
2. Nursing Major
Health majors can certainly benefit from medical practice overseas, especially when minoring in a different language. Particularly in less privileged medical countries like Peru and South Africa, this would be a great experience.
3. Business Major
The top three places Americans go to study abroad according to Forbes are the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. However, countries like Japan and Belgium have incredible programs for business majors as well as top corporate companies.
4. Education Major
Working with students that may not speak your same language is challenging and in countries like Somalia and Pakistan, women barely get any education. If you're interested in helping others and teaching, these would be great opportunities.
5. Journalism Major
6. Pre-Law Major
Any university with close ties to its country's government would be ideal for law majors. According to GlobaLinks Learning Abroad, New Zealand and Australia's universities fit this criteria.
7. Engineering Major
European countries like Germany and the United Kingdom not only have incredible programs for every major, but also engineering. Home to corporations like Volkswagen and Siemens, Germany is a hub for technology.8. Arts Major
Depending on the type of art you're studying, any country with a rich general history will also have a rich art history. And don't forget the gorgeous views in places like Italy or Spain.
9. Language Major
If you're a French major, don't only consider France! Belgium, Haiti, and many African countries are French speaking as well. The same goes for any language, major or minor.Research your school and pick a program that's right for you. No matter what country you want to go to, no matter your major, you can make it work.
