What is a faculty-led program?
Overview
- PSU faculty members lead several groups of students abroad every year
- These programs are often related to a course or a major field of study but are open to all students
- Most of the programs take place during the summer or Spring break
- If you have not traveled overseas before, these programs are a great first experience.
Affordability
- Faculty-led trips are usually the most affordable; most of these programs cost less than $4000.
- The advertised prices usually do not include tuition for the credits. These fees must be paid separately in the summer, but are covered by the flat-rate fee in the Winter and Spring.
Credits
- Students are required to enroll in at least the 1-credit hour class during the study abroad program. Most programs have at least 3 credit hours of PSU credit.
- Eligible students can receive a study abroad stipend to help offset the cost of the class credit.
