Embedded Programs Facilitated by Penn State Abington

Embedded programs provide immersive and diverse cultural experiences through short-term travel outside the United States.

  • Each course features a credit-bearing international travel component, which is included in the total number of credit hours you register for during the semester the course is scheduled.
  • Courses are taught by Abington faculty who accompany students abroad.
  • The international travel component is typically between five and eight days, often during the fall, spring, or summer breaks.

Experiential Digital Global Engagement (EDGE) has been an effective way for students to connect with global institutions without ever leaving their classroom. EDGE allows Abington faculty to connect with a higher education institution in another country and design a month-long project for their course

Full Semester Programs Facilitated by Penn State Global

For those seeking extended international exposure, more than 300 full semester programs offer opportunities to take a deep dive into academic environments outside of the United States. You may study abroad for one semester or for a full academic year, but you must apply at least one academic year in advance. The first step is to connect with Penn State Global.
