okamzikprosim Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I am very interested in entering a professional graduate program for international ed in 2017 (after I finish my current masters and gain additional international experience). I know about programs like the MAIEM/MPA at MIIS and MA in International Ed at SIT that are both very professional based and something I would love, but I recently learned that some higher ed admin/student affairs programs could be a good fit when I heard that someone was doing an international education focus in a college student personnel MA program. The issue is, outside of the one student affairs program here where this is possible but challenging, and a few others that do not have a focus on international ed, are there any that I am missing? I'm familiar with the NAFSA list, but I'm wondering if there are any more programs out there that could be a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelgirl125 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Have you checked into the International Education program at NYU? They offer a few different tracks/specializations which might be interesting to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I don't understand your strategy/goals here. You could get a job in international education with your international experience plus the master's degree you're already earning. What d you hope to accomplish by completing a second master's?

You could get a job in international education with your international experience plus the master's degree you're already earning. What d you hope to accomplish by completing a second master's? A career change. I'm currently in a job that I am pretty unhappy with and am just completing the masters to meet my contractual obligations as a part of the job I currently hold. I currently have a 2 year teaching contract contingent on progress on my graduate program. I see little benefit in breaking contract especially as I have nowhere to go for the next year due to personal reasons. My master's is in a field totally unrelated (Elementary Ed) and from a university that has no reputation outside the region I'm in. I don't see how that can get me into this field, one that I already have a year related experience in as a student plus additional international education experience before I returned back to the US when higher ed institutions want a related masters.

Still something I'd consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
