Non-Penn State Programs

Students may choose to participate in an education abroad program that is not officially approved by Penn State Education Abroad. These programs are referred to as "non-Penn State programs," and they often involve several additional steps that students must complete in order to receive academic credit. Before making this decision, we highly recommend you research options approved by Penn State to see if one of our programs meets your needs. If you do decide to pursue a non-approved program, there are many factors you will need to consider and discuss with your family.
