Resources to Prepare

Preparing for your time abroad should include reflection on your own values, experiences, and perspectives and those of the people in the culture where you will be visiting.

Connect with the Global Engineering Fellows to learn more about their experience abroad and to discuss questions you may have.

Read up on your host country and watch relevant movies/media. The Penn State University Libraries provide access to destination information, local news sources, international films, and world music.

Studying abroad is more than just traveling internationally. Because you earn credits on all Penn State-approved study abroad programs, you will need to determine how a study abroad experience will fit into your academic plan. Here you can find a few easy steps to get you started on your study abroad journey.
