Study Abroad
Penn State encourages its students to think globally, and a study abroad program is the perfect opportunity to experience new cultures and academic challenges. Students who study abroad in Latin America will study the art, history, and culture of the country they are visiting.
If you are interested in studying abroad and applying credits towards your Latin American Studies degree, you should consult with your adviser about the process for receiving approval for courses not listed on the course equivalency list. The Latin American Studies director will determine how credits taken abroad may count towards the major. Ideally, students should start this planning before going abroad.
