These general education undergraduate courses are taught in English. Students can take up to 24 credit hours per year for two years, for a total of 48 hours of coursework. Students can complete their degree program on the Pittsburg, Kansas campus. These academic credits, which will apply toward a bachelor's degree at PSU, may transfer to other Kansas or U.S. universities and colleges.
Admission Requirements
Paraguayan students will need to meet the regular admission requirements of Pittsburg State University for international students.
The I-20 required for international students studying the U. S. is not required for students studying in Paraguay as part of the PSU in Paraguay program. When students come to Pittsburg to complete their degree they will need to complete all required documents to obtain a U.S. student visa.
The History of the Kansas and Paraguay Partnership
The Kansas Paraguay Partnership (KPP) was created in 1968, along with its Paraguayan counterpart, the Comité Paraguay Kansas (CPK). Pittsburg State University has received numerous students from Paraguay over the years. In recent years, groups of PSU students have traveled to Paraguay for study abroad experiences. The history of cooperation between the Republic of Paraguay and the State of Kansas fostered by the CPK and KPP make the expansion of cooperative programs between PSU and Paraguay an attractive opportunity for students and faculty.
