Faculty traveling abroad, whether independently for their scholarship or leading a group of students, have access to a broad range of resources and support based in the Global Safety unit within Penn State Global.
Among the Global Safety team’s many responsibilities is managing Penn State’s international health insurance policy provided by United HealthCare Global (UHCG). All students and faculty traveling outside the United States on university business (inclusive of education abroad programs) are covered by the same policy. Rather than issue individual ID cards and coverage information, all Penn State policy information can be found on the International Health Insurance webpage of the Penn State Global website.
