Study abroad a valuable opportunity for students What is one of the best ways to make yourself more marketable to potential employers? Many human resource personnel suggest that in today's global market, students need international experience. One way for students to gain this experience is through the Education Abroad pro grams. One of the programs offered to Be- "Seeing pictures of St. Peter's Basilica in history and art books, and seeing it hands on ...there's no comparison." hrend students is The Penn State- Temple Rome Program. This particu lar program is offered through Penn State and Temple Universities and of fers students from each respective school the opportunity to study in Rome, Italy. The program allows stu dents to take courses in the areas of architecture, art history, Italian, stu dio art and international business. Various humanities and social science courses are also offered. Recently, Ben Murphy, 06 MIS, returned to Behrend after spending a semester in Rome. Like many stu dents considering the possibilities of studying abroad, he was nervous as to how he would adjust to living in a different country. However, Murphy said that the other students and pro fessors eased his tensions. " The Ital ian classes taught practical language and it was easy to pick up when you had the opportunity to use it daily." In addition to Italian, Murphy also studied Art History . He said that liv ing in Rome gave him " a better un derstanding of different cultures." Murphy explained that his apartment was located within walking distance to Vatican City. He said that, " See ing pictures of St. Peter's Basilica in history and art books, and seeing it hands on ...there's no comparison." Although this experience may sound intriguing to many, some stu dents feel that there are too may rea sons that prevent them from partici pating. Rob McArdle, 08 Business Management, says that "It's too ex pensive. Most students can't afford it." Amy Johnson, Academic Support Programs coordinator stated that this may not be the case. She said that tu ition is approximately the same as that at any Penn State campus. She did agree that living expenses may be slightly higher, but that they can be Enjoy a helpful and rewarding summer at Camp Sussex which is located in the beau tiful mountains of northern New Jersey and is about one hour from New York City.

Johnson also explained that time away from home may be a concern for many students. She said that the Penn State-Temple Rome program was just one of the options available to Behrend students. There are other programs of shorter length. "If a stu dent is not looking for a semester, we offer programs as little as one week over spring break," Johnson stated. These Behrend-basod programs offer students the opportunity to study abroad in Spain or Mexico. There are also Summer Programs that enable students to study in Germany, En gland, Ireland or France. Johnson added that these options are "unique to Behrend." Johnson said that the program is open to all students in good academic standing although most are in their junior or senior year. For many pro grams, applications are due one year in advance. Students interested in par ticipating in the Education Abroad program should contact Amy Johnson at 898-6230.
