Earn your degree while seeing the world.

  • We’ve had a lot of inquiries about master’s degree options in Europe. Good news! There are even more English-taught options for master’s than bachelor’s. We offer services around these programs as well. We just recently added our Ultimate Guide to Grad School in Europe workshop to our youtube channel (search Beyond the States). Be sure to subscribe and check it out! Beyond the States helps students find information about the affordable English-taught bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in Europe. Follow the link in our bio or check out our podcast on iTunes (search Beyond the States) to find out how you can get your degree while you see the world!
  • I want to talk a bit about Estonia this week. If you’ve ever heard me talk, you know I’m a bit in love with this country. Ellie and I are going to visit schools in Finland in late August, and I’m hoping to take the ferry over and stay for a few days then. Given the fact that I loved it in the winter, I can only imagine how amazing it is in the summer.  Universities in Estonia offer 18 English taught bachelors degree programs that range from 3100-6000 euros per year.  There are 62 English taught master’s degree programs, ranging from 500-13100 (and I’m not missing a zero on the 500…). Additionally there are 2 single cycle programs that range from 8800-11000 euros per year. Beyond the States helps students find information about the affordable English-taught bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in Europe.

  • Countries in Europe are cautiously easing up on restrictions. Additionally, many universities are planning for fall in ways that will prevent large gatherings (like lectures) and hopefully prevent a total shutdown if there is a second wave. Blended learning is likely to be a popular strategy, with in person small group seminars, but online lectures.  The entire set up of European campuses (decentralized, different housing model) is such that they are able to approach this in ways that are difficult or US universities to consider.

  • Our latest blog talks about what we could have done differently around Sam's first year at a European university. My insight can be your foresight! Check the link in our bio to read it.

  • I love helping families and students learn about the options in Europe!  To that end, we offer two different free workshops. They have similar content, but one speaks to the questions students often have and the other focuses on what parents want to know. You can now watch them both through our new youtube channel. Our YouTube is called Beyond The States. Don’t forget to subscribe!

  • If you've been around BTS for awhile, you probably have heard about Liza. She was one of the first BTS members and is now finishing her bachelor's in Prague.  Though I don't have a full understanding of TikTok (Ellie has clued me in a bit), I do know that Liza is making a huge impact talking about her experiences as an international student in Europe. Check her out on TikTok at shlyyzz! Beyond the States helps students find information about the affordable English-taught bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in Europe.
