Study Abroad
Study mechanical engineering in China. Teach in Ecuador. Excavate along the Mediterranean Sea. Research in Australia. Sometimes the most influential learning takes place outside of the classroom, AND out of the country. Penn State provides many options for students at all campuses.
Our Education Abroad office in Global Programs is here to assist you as you find your program, schedule, and plan for your experience.
Penn State Education Abroad offers 300+ programs in more than fifty countries, year-round, available for all majors and academic schedules.
Can’t leave the country for an entire semester, but still want to have an international experience? Take classes while on campus and travel over breaks.
With proper planning and a commitment to exploring funding resources, studying abroad can be affordable for any budget.
