Penn State Abington students donned traditional hanbok clothing at a palace in Seoul, South Korea, over spring break. Their nine-day immersion was a required component of a science course and included cultural experiences and science exploration. Embedded courses such as this one, coordinated by Abington Global Programs, feature short-term faculty-led travel that increases engagement and serves as resume and career builders.
Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses and the state’s community colleges have announced a new collaboration aimed at expanding educational opportunities in Pennsylvania and removing barriers to degree completion among college students.
