Baylor School of Education offers study-abroad programs on three different continents.
Global experiences are education specific with work in host-country schools, are directed by School of Education faculty, and include time for site seeing and extra travel.
Baylor Interns in Australia
As part of their senior intern experience at Baylor, students spend three weeks teaching in the Camp Hill area of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Interns assist with classroom instruction, present lessons on American culture and conduct research. The Thanksgiving feast is always a favorite for the Baylor students and Aussies alike. After their teaching experience, the students spend the fourth week traveling. The Great Barrier Reef and Sidney are popular destinations.
