Promoting Education Abroad

Advising Students Interested in Education Abroad
Students have many questions while preparing to study abroad. Please review these guidelines for advising students throughout the process.
Leading an Education Abroad Program
Faculty and staff who lead education abroad programs have a great deal of responsibility for ensuring the coursework, housing, site visits, budgets, and other program arrangements run smoothly. The Education Abroad team is available to support program leaders throughout the process. There are several considerations that program leaders should review before finalizing the program details.

Education Abroad Advisory Council
Education Abroad has convened an advisory council made up of faculty and administrators from across the University, whose purpose is to offer feedback on policy and program initiatives and to act as a reflective body – offering diverse viewpoints on the challenges and opportunities present in global engagement throughout Penn State. The primary work of the council involves reviewing new program proposals and making recommendations to the director of Education Abroad, the assistant vice provost for Global Learning, and the vice provost for Global on the proposals’ merit.
