2022 EDUCATION ABROAD FAIR

Each year, Penn State hosts exhibitors from over 80 different study abroad partners, support offices, scholarship sources, and academic colleges to bring students the information they want about education abroad!  Students have the opportunity to speak with representatives from universities and study centers abroad; meet advisers from their college who know which courses and locations are best for different majors; meet faculty who lead education abroad programs; and talk with Education Abroad staff about the 300+ education abroad programs that are offered.
