Other Study Abroad Programs
For students interested in studying in a country
or on a program other than what Penn College offers, there are over 2,650
academic year and semester-long programs and a variety of short-term and
summer programs available through various institutions.
Close to 100,000 U.S. students
study abroad in a variety of programs every year. Some programs are
fully integrated; you attend the same classes as the host
country nationals, taught in the language of the host
country. Other programs are specially geared for the U.S. student
studying abroad; classes are offered in English by professors from a
college/university in the U.S.
Some programs take a combination approach with
several classes provided by the host institution and other classes taught by
professors from the "sponsoring" institution. For example, you may go on a
program through Central College to Carmarthen, Wales. You may take classes
by some of Central's professors and by professors at the College in Wales.
Central College would be the sponsoring institution.
