Take your English studies international to read, research, and write across cultures—linking close reading and critical theory to questions of language, history, and representation. International study immerses you in new literary traditions and linguistic contexts, expanding how you interpret texts, analyze genres and forms, and situate works within their social and historical moments. You’ll advance in literary analysis, rhetoric and composition, linguistics, and creative or professional writing while exploring world literatures, translation, postcolonial studies, and media adaptations. Build your portfolio through seminars, archival work, writer-in-residence workshops, and public-facing projects—strengthening argumentation, style, and cross-cultural communication as you develop a global perspective on literature and language.
Studying at University Carlos III of Madrid for a year allowed me to have a completely different academic experience each semester. My fall semester was a Hispanic studies program aimed at international students. In the spring, I'm doing an immersion and almost all my classmates are Spaniards (although I have the opportunity to take classes in English). I love that! All the professors are friendly, which is something new for me since my university classes at home are so big they barely get to know your name. They are also very passionate about their courses which makes it very interesting and enjoyable.
