Embedded Programs
The opportunity to embark on an exciting short term study abroad program can be tied in to a class that is taught at PSU. The international travel component usually fits into a natural break from classes in the PSU calendar, like spring break, winter break or Maymester.
Some courses taught at Penn State have international travel with the instructor as a small part of the course. Check pre-requisite classes, eligibility, language requirement and the campus where the course is being taught to see if you are eligible BEFORE adding the course in LionPath or calling the department offering the course to have it added. There is often a contact person for each program to provide more information. Please check with the college/department offering the course for updated and complete information.
