Education Abroad Programs

Calling all students: Penn State Education Abroad offers 300+ programs in 50+ countries, Fall, Spring or Summer! Programs available for all majors and academic schedules. Whenever you want to study, wherever you want to study, you have options. And, our Education Abroad Office in Global Programs is here to assist you as you find your program, figure out your schedule, and plan for your experience.

Education Abroad Embedded Programs

Can’t leave the country for an entire semester, but still want to have an international experience? Consider an embedded program with a much shorter travel component. Embedded programs are Penn State classes that students take while on campus, but they feature a required travel portion that typically occurs over breaks or at the end of the term. These programs offer students a chance to go abroad if they cannot fit a more traditional term abroad in their schedule.

Costs and Funding

With proper planning and a commitment to exploring funding resources, studying abroad can be affordable for any budget. There are many factors that influence choice in location, academics, and program; one important factor is cost.
