Masters Degrees in English

I am so thankful for my experience at Instituto Franklin-UAH. I graduated with a master's degree in ESL and Bilingual education in 2025. I would like to highlight a very special person, Iulia, who not only helped me succeed in the program as a young single mom, but who also helped me navigate some very difficult circumstances while far away from home. She did not hesitate to become an important part of our support system. I truly do not know where we would be today without her!

My time in Rome was not just a visit; it was an immersion into a living testament of human achievement and endurance. The city's timeless allure left me enriched, and I carry the echoes of its beauty, history, and vibrancy with me. Spread the word: Rome is not just a destination; it's an odyssey of the senses, an experience that transcends travel and becomes a cherished chapter in the book of life.

I have had an amazing time in Rome and enjoyed all the culture and food. John Cabot has given me the chance to make connections from all over the world and still feel like I'm at home. I have loved my marketing classes where I compare Italian and american ads.

As a transfer from a U.S. university I had a smooth transition as all my credits were transferred and I was already used to the US system. They offered a wide range of classes to pick from and the clubs and extracurricular enriched my career.

The opportunities, the experience and memories made at this university is something not many have the privilege to have in their lives. Beginning with the city, the culture, people and food it makes you feel at home. Not only the safe atmosphere, the professors and students develop a sense of family that I do not think I can find anywhere else.

i loved my time here the city is amazing the people are great and the language is super easy to understand. i recommend that everyone will do a semester abroad in rome the cause it changed my life y it will change yours.

I learned different cultures while having people with similar interest in school but they were not really interested in it but they didn't have a lot to say to them in north africa and i miei idoli e non mangiano la pizza e tu non

JCU is truly a transforming experience… As an art history major, I’ve never thrived more in my entire life !! I’ve met so many people and been to so many places, I feel more confident in myself every day at JCU.

I love this school and I am very thankful that I have the opportunity to be here. It is in a cool location and the professors are also great. I also think that Trastevere is the best place to be in Rome because there is so much to see and do.

JCU has been an an amazing experience for me so far! I love going to school here and am proud to be a member of the community. I came to JCU right out of high school and moving to a new country at 18 can be intimidating, but the school does a great job of helping new students.

JCU screams multiculturalism. I’ve met so many people from so many different cultures, countries, and backgrounds. It is honestly a great place that cultivates a diverse and global experience for its students.

I was impressed with how easily the program and professors switched to online delivery during the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak. The administration team were supportive throughout an extended period of uncertainty, and I would happily recommend the program to anyone wanting to broaden their knowledge within the education realm.

Like the rising of the sun, slowly brings warmth to a cold day, that's how I can describe my experience at AUB. The people of Lebanon sometimes say they can be rude, but what I found out is the issue of trust, the people are rich in hospitality and once they trust you, they make you feel at home, and give you comfort and warmth. At the end, everyone would miss their time at AUB.

I loved it here in Rome, I'm a sophomore and I fell in love with JCU! I would definitely do it again. The professors were amazing and the people were so welcoming. I didn't have problems making friends and I will never forget them. Rome is the best city to stay for Uni! I fell in love

Excellent program! Very manageable coursework with a teaching element included that allows you to earn some money and utilize the information you’ve learned in class while living abroad. Such a great experience!

Hi Kimberly: Thank you for the review! We are so glad you had a wonderful experience in the program. As an alumnus, know that our doors are always open to you. Un abrazo!

I spent two years living in Rome, learning about the city, and experiencing it (largely with a running group) and loved it immensely! John Cabot University was fantastic in facilitating this experience and offering new opportunities. Through the university, I was introduced to community members who I could explore the area with and live the most interesting parts of Rome. Of course, this is in addition to a well-experienced and professional faculty. I went through the business program at John Cabot and learned everything and more than what I was hoping from a selection of professionals with experience in international law, startups, and large corporations. The university is very well connected and utilizes their resources to create a worthwhile experience.

My experience in John Cabot University has been fully enriching. I’ve met the brightest art history professors that had inspired me and reinforced my passion for my major. Equally important, I’ve gained independence skills while living abroad and have met a nice friend group from my home country and others.

I was planning to finish my degree at UCLA when I learned about the Italian Studies program at JCU. After doing some research and contacting alumni, I decided that JCU would be a better fit for my future goals. I am in my second semester and can’t speak highly enough about the program. The faculty and staff have exceeded my expectations and I continue to be impressed at what this university has to offer. If you’re debating on where you should go to finish your degree, search no more. The experience you will have during your time in Rome is unparalleled. You will not only receive an exceptional education, you will have life changing experiences in the Eternal City.

The Teach and Learn in Spain program granted me the freedom to travel, practice Spanish, and earn a Master's Degree in my desired field of study for an extremely low cost and high reward. This degree gave me the ability to teach Spanish at a notable private school in upstate New York. It has also taken me to China where I teach bilingual STEM and Science courses each summer. Most recently, it was my academic achievements at UAH that transferred to NYU where I will be continuing my studies in Speech-Langauge Pathology this coming semester. Although UAH handed us some, admittedly annoying, challenges, such as working out communication and travel flaws between the university and our school placements and finding accommodation, I wouldn't trade it for the world- in hind-sight. Also, be advised that the diploma and transcripts do take several months to receive! I give this program an overall 9/10 because the faculty are some of the most enjoyable, helpful, and understanding people you will meet. Your fellow classmates will become life-long friends. It is guaranteed that your experience living, working, and teaching in Spain will be at the top of your most rewarding career choices you will make.

Instituto Franklin offered various options to make tuition cost feasible, offered a major in the field I was interested in and the opportunity to continue teaching English while still studying. The staff was also very responsive and made the application process run smoothly. Yet, like any program some courses are more interesting/challenging than others but overall completing the Master’s program was pivotal towards my decision in making the transition out of the classroom to the area of international education. It reassured me that working with international students and/or students’ wanting to go abroad was what I wanted to do. Also, I feel it was a good addition to my resume, after moving back to California from Spain I was able to land a job shortly after.
