PSU Faculty Led Group Study Abroad Programs
PSU faculty lead several groups of students abroad every year. Often these programs are related to a course or a major field of study. These programs are a great option for PSU students. Many of the programs take place during vacation times such as summer or winter break. If you have not traveled overseas before these programs are a great first experience.
If you have questions about these or other programs, contact the Study Abroad Coordinator.
