Happy Friday my fellow Penn Staters! This will be my last post for the semester. This week I will talk about the numerous study abroad opportunities the Pennsylvania State University offers. I decided to talk about this topic after waiting outside my academic advisor’s office; I perused the various study abroad pamphlets which gave me the idea for this post. Many students at Penn State are afforded the opportunity to visit different countries and learn their language and customs while earning college credits. Penn State offers many majors and minors that can be pursued in other nations. One program that really grabbed my attention were the study abroad summer programs that involve Australia and New Zealand, two countries I have always wanted to visit.
From the continent of Asia to Europe, a Penn State student can go wherever his or her studies take him or her. Global Penn State, the organization in charge of studying abroad, has two main goals for students who decide to pursue their studies overseas: Global Citizenship and Global Leadership. Studying abroad can enhance a student’s acceptance of other cultures and customs. Studying abroad will also create a link with Penn State and the rest of the world and allow the student’s to experience the wonders of the world.
Check out this link to see all the places Penn State students can visit during their four years of college:
I am positive that a large percentage of Penn State students want to get out and explore the world and what it has to offer while they are in college. Penn State is a large university and it is able to give it’s students a great amount of places to further their studies. I have included a video that will talk about the opportunities that Penn State Global and more specifically the Penn State offer to e astudents. Penn State goes to great lengths to make sure that its students do not just stay in State College for their four years of college.
